Test, inspection and production equipment. Reasons for control: MT (Missile technology), NP (Nuclear nonproliferation), AT (Anti-terrorism).
Does 1B101 need a license to your country?
Enter the full classification (for example 1B101.a) and a destination. The check reads the Country Chart, the end-use and embargo rules, and shows the rule and source behind the answer.
License requirements
Each control below comes from the entry’s License Requirements table. Where it names a Country Chart column, the countries with an X in that column need a license for the items the control covers, unless a License Exception applies.
- MT (Missile technology): MT applies to entire entry.

Country Chart column NP1: a license is needed to 151 countries with an X

- AT (Anti-terrorism): AT applies to entire entry. No Country Chart country has an X in column AT1; the destinations this control targets are under “Not decided by the Country Chart” below.
Not decided by the Country Chart: Covered Donetsk region of Ukraine (DNR), Covered Luhansk region of Ukraine (LNR), Crimea region of Ukraine, Cuba, Iran, Korea, North, Syria. These destinations are under embargoes or other special controls in 15 CFR Part 746, which require a license for most items whatever the chart shows. Russia and Belarus also have broad Part 746 controls in addition to the chart.
A blank on the Country Chart is not permission to ship. End-use and end-user rules (15 CFR Part 744), embargoes and sanctions (Part 746), and the parties to the transaction still apply. Use the check above for your item and country.
List-based License Exceptions
As the entry lists them. Each exception has its own conditions in 15 CFR Part 740, and § 740.2 bars or limits most of them for Russia, Belarus, Country Group D:5 and embargoed destinations, so an entry’s “Yes” does not mean it is available everywhere.
- LVS: N/A
- GBS: N/A
Items in 1B101
The controls often apply to some paragraphs only, so check the full paragraph, for example 1B101.a.
Show all 7 paragraphs
- 1B101.a Filament winding machines or 'fiber/tow-placement machines,' of which the motions for positioning, wrapping and winding fibers can be coordinated and programmed in three or more axes, designed to fabricate composite structures or laminates from fibrous or filamentary materials, and coordinating and programming controls;
- 1B101.b 'Tape-laying machines' of which the motions for positioning and laying tape can be coordinated and programmed in two or more axes, designed for the manufacture of composite airframe and missile structures;
- 1B101.c Equipment designed or modified for the "production" of "fibrous or filamentary materials" as follows:
- 1B101.c.1 Equipment for converting polymeric fibers (such as polyacrylonitrile, rayon or polycarbosilane) including special provision to strain the fiber during heating;
- 1B101.c.2 Equipment for the vapor deposition of elements or compounds on heated filament substrates; and
