CCL Classification Master Class: Technical Data/Technology and Software Webinar

Webinar Instructor:
  John Black

Recorded February 15, 2012 1:00 PM EST 

It is more important than ever to get this right. 

Your company is likely exporting technical data/technology and software more frequently and in more ways than ever before.  The more you export, the more important it is to make sure you have the accurate classification in the Commerce Control List (CCL).  If you get the wrong Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for the items you export, you could easily have hundreds of people in your organization unknowingly and repeatedly making illegal exports. 

Finding the correct ECCN is easier said than done.  While classifying hardware and materials is difficult, classifying technical data/technology and software often is even more difficult.  Sometimes the classification of your technical data and technology depends on the item to which it is related, and, unfortunately, sometimes it does not.  Sometimes your equipment is EAR99 and your technology for that equipment may require an export license for most countries.

John Black has worked with many companies in a wide range of industries to help them classify their technical data, technology and software in his 27+ years as an export compliance expert.  In this webinar, he will use his experience to show you the critical elements of determining the proper ECCN.  He will highlight key areas of the CCL and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that you may have never noticed, even though they may play decisive roles in determining the ECCN for your technical data/technology and software. 

The webinar will address these and other issues:

  • Classifying technology and technical data
  • Classifying software, both source and object code
  • Recognizing cases where different controls apply to source vs. object code
  • Understanding the General Technology Note and key EAR definitions
  • Finding ECCNs that impose strict controls on technology for uncontrolled products
  • Finding the sometimes thin line between controlled and uncontrolled technical data/technology
  • Understanding “Publicly Available”
  • Setting up your team to classify technical data/technology and software
  • Considering options for short-cut approaches to compliant classifications
  • Implementing common sense company procedures for classifications
  • Choosing practical and effective tools for making classifications easier and more accurate

This study of the complex regulations that impact classifications will put you well on your path to doing a better job with your classifications.  Knowing more about how to do classifications might not make your life easier, but it should make your exports more compliant.
