ECCN 4E001
NSMTRSCCATTechnology as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 4E001 controls "technology" for the development, production, or use of computing equipment and software in Category 4 — including technology for building digital computers above defined "Adjusted Peak Performance" (APP) levels and for processor "aggregation." It captures the design and integration know-how behind high-performance and supercomputing systems, and also covers technology associated with certain network-surveillance items.
Who needs to check this?
High-performance-computing system designers, processor and interconnect engineers, and firms transferring computer-architecture or aggregation know-how across borders or to foreign nationals.
Compliance tip
Like all "E" entries, 4E001 governs intangible technology transfers and "deemed exports." The APP-based sub-paragraphs change as policy evolves, so recompute APP against the current threshold in the entry. Note that the Crime Control reason adds destination restrictions for surveillance-related technology.
Items Covered
- a."Technology" according to the General Technology Note, for the "development", "production", or "use" of equipment or "software" controlled by 4A (except 4A906, 4A980 or 4A994 and "use" of equipment controlled under 4A090) or 4D (except 4D906, 4D980, 4D993, 4D994 and "use" of software controlled under 4D090).
- b."Technology" according to the General Technology Note, other than that controlled by 4E001.a, for the "development" or "production" of equipment as follows:
- 1. "Digital computers" having an "Adjusted Peak Performance" ("APP") exceeding 24 Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT);
- 2. "Electronic assemblies" specially designed or modified for enhancing performance by aggregation of processors so that the "APP" of the aggregation exceeds the limit in 4E001.b.1.
- c."Technology" for the "development" of "intrusion software."
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 regional stability reasons.
Items controlled for crime control and detection purposes.
Items controlled for anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
