What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 1C226 controls tungsten, tungsten carbide, and alloys containing more than 90% tungsten by weight, meeting the form and quantity criteria in the entry. High-density tungsten has legitimate industrial uses but is also proliferation-relevant, so it is controlled for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Producers and exporters of tungsten metal, tungsten carbide, and high-density tungsten alloys for tooling, radiation shielding, and industrial applications.
