What This ECCN Covers

ECCN 5D992 covers "information security" software not controlled by 5D002 — chiefly mass-market encryption software classified out of 5D002 under the mass-market provisions. Like its hardware counterpart 5A992, it is controlled only for Regional Stability and Anti-Terrorism, so it reaches a limited set of destinations.

Who needs to check this?

Publishers of mass-market encryption software (apps, operating-system features, consumer security tools) that have completed mass-market classification.

Compliance tip

Confirm the software actually qualifies as mass-market and retain the self-classification report or CCATS and any §740.17 registration. RS and AT controls still require a license to a small list of destinations; verify the §734.7 "published" exclusion for any publicly available code before assuming it is outside the EAR.
