ECCN 3E001
NSMTNPRSATTechnology according to the General Technology Note for the development or production of commodities controlled by 3A (except 3A069, 3A901, 3A904, 3A980, 3A981, 3A991, 3A992, or 3A999), 3B (except 3B001.a.4, c, d, f.1, f.5, k to n, p.2, p.4, r, 3B002.c, 3B903, 3B904, 3B991, 3B992, 3B993, or 3B994) or 3C (except 3C907, 3C908, 3C909, or 3C992).
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 3E001 controls "technology" — under the General Technology Note — for the development or production of most Category 3 electronics commodities (3A, 3B, 3C), subject to the carve-outs listed in the entry. "Technology" means the information (designs, process specifications, and know-how) needed to develop or produce controlled items, and it includes "deemed exports": releasing such technology to a foreign national, even inside the United States, is treated as an export.
Who needs to check this?
Chip designers, semiconductor process engineers, and any company sharing fabrication or design technology with foreign employees, partners, or subsidiaries.
Compliance tip
Technology controls cover intangible transfers — emails, process specs, training, and access by foreign-national staff ("deemed exports") can all require authorization. Because 3E001 carries Missile Technology and Nuclear Nonproliferation among its reasons for some referenced items, license exceptions are limited; map your technology to the exact commodity it supports before relying on any exception.
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 regional stability reasons.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
