What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 2B119 controls balancing machines and related equipment having the characteristics in the entry. Precision balancing machines are used to balance rotating assemblies and are relevant to gas-centrifuge and aerospace production, so they are controlled for Missile Technology and Anti-Terrorism reasons.

Who needs to check this?

Makers and exporters of precision balancing machines and the manufacturers balancing rotors, shafts, and rotating assemblies.

Compliance tip

Control turns on the balancing capability and the rotor characteristics in the entry — general shop balancers may fall outside. With MT among the reasons, verify the Country Chart and apply end-use diligence for rotor/centrifuge applications.
