ECCN 5E002
NSRSATEITechnology as follows .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 5E002 controls "technology" — under the General Technology Note — for the development, production, or use of the information-security equipment and software in Category 5 Part 2 (notably 5A002/5D002), and technology with the characteristics of a "cryptographic activation token." Because it concerns encryption know-how, it carries the Encryption Items reason alongside National Security, Regional Stability, and Anti-Terrorism.
Who needs to check this?
Cryptographic engineering teams, firms transferring encryption design or implementation know-how across borders, and companies enabling cryptographic features via activation tokens or keys.
Compliance tip
Encryption technology transfers — including "deemed exports" to foreign nationals — are governed here and under the ENC provisions of §740.17; many transfers require BIS review or reporting rather than a full license. Map the technology to the exact 5A002/5D002 function, and follow the encryption registration and self-classification/CCATS procedures in Part 740 and 742.
Items Covered
- a."Technology" according to the General Technology Note for the "development," "production" or "use" of equipment controlled by 5A002, 5A003, 5A004 or 5B002, or of "software" controlled by 5D002.a, z.1 through z.3, or 5D002.c, z.6 through z.8.
- b."Technology" having the characteristics of a 'cryptographic activation token' specified by 5A002.b, z.2.
