What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 1C006 controls specified fluids and lubricating materials — for example certain synthetic hydraulic fluids and lubricants engineered for extreme temperature, oxidation, or pressure performance. These specialty fluids support aerospace and high-performance machinery, and are controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.

Who needs to check this?

Manufacturers and distributors of synthetic lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and damping fluids engineered for demanding aerospace or industrial environments.

Compliance tip

Control turns on the specific chemistry and performance properties listed in the entry — confirm your product against those criteria, since ordinary commercial lubricants fall outside. Check the NS and AT Country Chart columns and the entry's License Exception paragraph.
