ECCN 1C216
NPATMaraging steel, other than that controlled by 1C116, capable of an ultimate tensile strength of 1,950 MPa or more, at 293 K (20 °C).
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 1C216 controls maraging steel, other than that controlled by 1C116, "capable of" an ultimate tensile strength at or above the threshold in the entry. Maraging steel's very high strength makes it valuable for tooling and aerospace but also relevant to gas-centrifuge and missile applications, so it is controlled for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Producers and exporters of maraging steel and components, and tooling, aerospace, and motorsport suppliers using ultra-high-strength steel.
Compliance tip
Note the "capable of" language — control can apply based on the steel's achievable strength, not just its as-shipped condition. Rule out 1C116 first, and with NP among the reasons apply Part 744 nuclear end-use diligence and confirm the Country Chart.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
