ECCN 5A992
RSATEquipment not controlled by 5A002
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 5A992 covers "information security" equipment not controlled by 5A002 — most importantly mass-market encryption commodities that have been classified out of 5A002 under the mass-market provisions (Note 3 to Category 5, Part 2). It is controlled only for Regional Stability and Anti-Terrorism, so it applies to a limited set of destinations rather than worldwide.
Who needs to check this?
Vendors of mass-market encryption products (consumer networking gear, smartphones, routers) that have completed the mass-market classification process.
Compliance tip
Reaching 5A992 usually requires the mass-market self-classification report or a CCATS, plus any required encryption registration under §740.17 — keep that documentation. The RS and AT reasons mean shipments to a small list of destinations still need a license; screen all parties against the Entity and SDN lists.
