ECCN 3A992
RSATGeneral purpose electronic equipment, not controlled by 3A002, as Follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 3A992 covers general-purpose electronic equipment not controlled by 3A002 — such as certain electronic test equipment and digital instrumentation magnetic-tape or data recorders. It is controlled for Regional Stability and Anti-Terrorism reasons, so it applies to a narrower set of destinations than the National-Security-controlled 3A001/3A002 entries.
Who needs to check this?
Exporters of laboratory and instrumentation electronics, data recorders, and general test equipment who have confirmed the item is not caught by 3A002.
Compliance tip
RS and AT controls mean a license is required to a limited list of destinations rather than worldwide — check the RS and AT columns on the Commerce Country Chart. Even where no license is required, screen the end user and end use against the Entity List and SDN List.
Items Covered
- a.Electronic test equipment, n.e.s.
- b.Digital instrumentation magnetic tape data recorders having any of the following characteristics;
- 1. A maximum digital interface transfer rate exceeding 60 Mbit/s and employing helical scan techniques;
- 2. A maximum digital interface transfer rate exceeding 120 Mbit/s and employing fixed head techniques; or
- 3. "Space qualified".
- c.Equipment, with a maximum digital interface transfer rate exceeding 60 Mbit/s, designed to convert digital video magnetic tape recorders for use as digital instrumentation data recorders.
- d.Non-modular analog oscilloscopes having a bandwidth of 1 GHz or greater.
- e.Modular analog oscilloscope systems having either of the following characteristics:
- 1. A mainframe with a bandwidth of 1 GHz or greater; or
- 2. Plug-in modules with an individual bandwidth of 4 GHz or greater.
- f.Analog sampling oscilloscopes for the analysis of recurring phenomena with an effective bandwidth greater than 4 GHz.
- g.Digital oscilloscopes and transient recorders, using analog-to-digital conversion techniques, capable of storing transients by sequentially sampling single-shot inputs at successive intervals of less than 1 ns (greater than 1 gigasample per second), digitizing to 8 bits or greater resolution and storing 256 or more samples.
Control Reasons
Items controlled for regional stability reasons.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
