ECCN 1C230
NPATBeryllium metal, alloys containing more than 50% beryllium by weight, beryllium compounds, manufactures thereof, and waste or scrap of any of the foregoing.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 1C230 controls beryllium metal, alloys containing more than 50% beryllium by weight, beryllium compounds, and related items, as defined in the entry. Beryllium's light weight, stiffness, and neutron properties give it aerospace, optical, and nuclear uses, so it is controlled for Nuclear Nonproliferation and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Producers and exporters of beryllium metal, copper-beryllium and other alloys, and beryllium components for aerospace, optics, and electronics.
Compliance tip
Confirm the beryllium content and form against the entry — some finished components and low-content alloys may fall outside. With NP among the reasons, apply nuclear end-use diligence; beryllium is also a regulated industrial hazard, so coordinate with safety requirements.
Items Covered
- a.Metal windows for X-ray machines, or for bore-hole logging devices;
- b.Oxide shapes in fabricated or semi-fabricated forms specially designed for electronic component parts or as substrates for electronic circuits;
- c.Beryl (silicate of beryllium and aluminum) in the form of emeralds or aquamarines.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
