What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 1D002 controls "software" for the development of organic "matrix," metal "matrix," or carbon "matrix" laminates or composites — the design and process software behind the advanced composites controlled in Category 1. It carries National Security and Anti-Terrorism reasons, mirroring the materials it supports.

Who needs to check this?

Developers of composite design, layup, and process-simulation software, and OEMs distributing such software with composite-production capabilities.

Compliance tip

Tie the software to the composite materials it is designed to develop (e.g., 1A002). Verify the §734.7 "published" exclusion for publicly available software, and confirm the NS and AT Country Chart columns before relying on a license exception.
