ECCN 1C005
NSATSuperconductive composite conductors in lengths exceeding 100 m or with a mass exceeding 100 g, as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 1C005 controls "superconductive" "composite" conductors in lengths exceeding 100 m or with a mass exceeding 100 g, meeting the entry's criteria — for example multifilamentary superconducting wire and tape. These conductors enable high-field magnets and advanced power and sensing systems and are controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Manufacturers and exporters of superconducting wire, tape, and cable for magnets, MRI, fusion, and high-field research applications.
Compliance tip
Control turns on the conductor type, length, and mass thresholds in the entry — confirm your product against them. Check the NS and AT Country Chart columns; related superconducting equipment and magnets may be controlled under separate entries.
Items Covered
- a."Superconductive" "composite" conductors containing one or more niobium-titanium 'filaments', having all of the following:
- 1. Embedded in a "matrix" other than a copper or copper-based mixed "matrix"; and
- 2. Having a cross-section area less than 0.28 × 10−4 mm2 (6 µm in diameter for circular 'filaments');
- b."Superconductive" "composite" conductors consisting of one or more "superconductive" 'filaments' other than niobium-titanium, having all of the following:
- 1. A "critical temperature" at zero magnetic induction exceeding 9.85 K (−263.31 °C); and
- 2. Remaining in the "superconductive" state at a temperature of 4.2 K (−268.96 °C) when exposed to a magnetic field oriented in any direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of conductor and corresponding to a magnetic induction of 12 T with critical current density exceeding 1750 A/mm2 on overall cross-section of the conductor.
- c."Superconductive" "composite" conductors consisting of one or more "superconductive" 'filaments' which remain "superconductive" above 115 K (−158.16 °C).
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
