ECCN 1C009
NSATUnprocessed fluorinated compounds as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 1C009 controls unprocessed fluorinated compounds — for example fluorinated polyimides containing 10% or more combined fluorine by weight, and certain fluoroelastomer/fluorosilicone precursors. These specialty fluorinated materials serve high-performance sealing and electronics applications and are controlled for National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Specialty-chemical and polymer suppliers exporting fluorinated precursors, and manufacturers sourcing high-fluorine-content polyimides or elastomer base materials.
Compliance tip
Control hinges on the fluorine content and the unprocessed form specified in the entry — confirm your material qualifies, since finished or lower-fluorine products may fall outside. Check the NS and AT Country Chart columns before relying on a license exception.
Items Covered
- b.Fluorinated polyimides containing 10% by weight or more of combined fluorine;
- c.Fluorinated phosphazene elastomers containing 30% by weight or more of combined fluorine.
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.
