ECCN 2E001
NSMTNPCBATTechnology according to the General Technology Note for the development of equipment or software controlled by 2A (except 2A983, 2A984, 2A991, or 2A994), 2B (except 2B991, 2B993, 2B996, 2B997, 2B998, or 2B999), or 2D (except 2D983, 2D984, 2D991, 2D992, or 2D994).
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 2E001 controls "technology" — under the General Technology Note — for the "development" of the equipment or software controlled across Category 2 (2A, 2B, 2D), subject to the exclusions listed in the entry. "Technology" is the know-how, designs, and specifications needed to develop controlled items, and it includes "deemed exports": releasing such technology to a foreign national, even within the United States, is treated as an export.
Who needs to check this?
Engineering teams developing controlled machine tools or materials-processing equipment, and any firm sharing related designs or process know-how with foreign nationals.
Compliance tip
Intangible transfers count — drawings, process specs, and access by foreign-national staff ("deemed exports") can require authorization. With National Security, Missile Technology, Nuclear Nonproliferation, and Chemical/Biological reasons among the referenced items, license-exception eligibility is narrow; map your technology to the precise commodity it supports.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for national security reasons under multilateral export control regimes.
Items controlled under the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).
Items controlled for nuclear nonproliferation reasons.
Items controlled for chemical and biological weapons proliferation concerns.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
