ECCN 4A994
ATComputers, electronic assemblies and related equipment, not controlled by 4A001 or 4A003, and specially designed parts and components therefor .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 4A994 is the Anti-Terrorism companion entry for computers, "electronic assemblies," and related equipment not controlled by 4A001 or 4A003 — including computers essential to the operation of other controlled equipment and certain robotics-related controllers. As an AT-only entry, it applies to a limited set of destinations rather than worldwide.
Who needs to check this?
Exporters of industrial computers, embedded controllers, and related equipment who have confirmed the item is not caught by 4A001 or 4A003.
Compliance tip
AT-only control means most destinations need no license, but terrorism-designated destinations are restricted and may also fall under OFAC programs. Screen the end user and end use against the Entity and SDN lists regardless of the low classification.
Items Covered
- a.The "digital computers" or related equipment are essential for the operation of the other equipment or systems;
- b.The "digital computers" or related equipment are not a "principal element" of the other equipment or systems; and
- B. 1: The control status of "signal processing" or "image enhancement" equipment specially designed for other equipment with functions limited to those required for the other equipment is determined by the control status of the other equipment even if it exceeds the "principal element" criterion.
- B. 2: For the control status of "digital computers" or related equipment for telecommunications equipment, see Category 5, Part 1 (Telecommunications).
- c.The "technology" for the "digital computers" and related equipment is determined by 4E.
- a.Electronic computers and related equipment, and "electronic assemblies" and specially designed "parts" and "components" therefor, rated for operation at an ambient temperature above 343 K (70 °C);
- b."Digital computers", including equipment of "signal processing" or image enhancement", having an "Adjusted Peak Performance" ("APP") equal to or greater than 0.0128 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT);
- c."Electronic assemblies" that are specially designed or modified to enhance performance by aggregation of processors, as follows:
- 1. Designed to be capable of aggregation in configurations of 16 or more processors;
- f.Equipment for "signal processing" or "image enhancement" having an "Adjusted Peak Performance" ("APP") equal to or greater than 0.0128 Weighted TeraFLOPS WT;
- i.Equipment containing "terminal interface equipment" exceeding the limits in 5A991;
- j.Equipment specially designed to provide external interconnection of "digital computers" or associated equipment that allows communications at data rates exceeding 80 Mbyte/s.
- k."Hybrid computers" and "electronic assemblies" and specially designed "parts" and "components" therefor containing analog-to-digital converters having all of the following characteristics:
- 1. 32 channels or more; and
- 2. A resolution of 14 bit (plus sign bit) or more with a conversion rate of 200,000 conversions/s or more.
- l.Computers, "electronic assemblies," and "components," n.e.s., containing integrated circuits, any of which meets or exceeds the limit of ECCN 3A991.p.
