Does 1C355 need a license to your country?
Enter the full classification (for example 1C355.a.1.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.
- CW (Chemical Weapons Convention): CW applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for CW reasons. A license is required to export or reexport CWC Schedule 2 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.a to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR). A license is required to export CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.b to States not Party to the CWC, unless an End Use Certificate issued by the government of the importing country is obtained by the exporter, prior to export. A license is required to reexport CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.b from a State not Party to the CWC to any other State not Party to the CWC. (See § 742.18 of the EAR for license requirements and policies for toxic and precursor chemicals controlled for CW reasons.). CW applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for CW reasons. A license is required to export or reexport CWC Schedule 2 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.a to States not Party to the CWC (destinations not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR). A license is required to export CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.b to States not Party to the CWC, unless an End Use Certificate issued by the government of the importing country is obtained by the exporter, prior to export. A license is required to reexport CWC Schedule 3 chemicals and mixtures identified in 1C355.b from a State not Party to the CWC to any other State not Party to the CWC. (See § 742.18 of the EAR for license requirements and policies for toxic and precursor chemicals controlled for CW reasons.)
- AT (Anti-terrorism): AT applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for AT reasons in 1C350. A license is required, for AT reasons, to export or reexport items controlled by 1C350 to a country in Country Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. (See part 742 of the EAR for additional information on the AT controls that apply to Iran, North Korea, and Syria. See part 746 of the EAR for additional information on sanctions that apply to Iran, North Korea, and Syria.). AT applies to entire entry. The Commerce Country Chart is not designed to determine licensing requirements for items controlled for AT reasons in 1C350. A license is required, for AT reasons, to export or reexport items controlled by 1C350 to a country in Country Group E:1 of Supplement No. 1 to part 740 of the EAR. (See part 742 of the EAR for additional information on the AT controls that apply to Iran, North Korea, and Syria. See part 746 of the EAR for additional information on sanctions that apply to Iran, North Korea, and Syria.)
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 1C355
The controls often apply to some paragraphs only, so check the full paragraph, for example 1C355.a.
