ECCN 7A005
NSMTATSatellite navigation system receiving equipment having any of the following and specially designed components therefor.
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 7A005 controls "satellite navigation system" (GNSS) receiving equipment that employs a decryption algorithm specially designed or modified for government use (e.g., access to a protected ranging code) or that uses adaptive (anti-jam) antenna systems. Ordinary civil GPS/GNSS receivers are not controlled here; the entry targets military-grade and anti-jam receivers, controlled for National Security, Missile Technology, and Anti-Terrorism reasons.
Who needs to check this?
Makers of military or survey-grade GNSS receivers, anti-jam antenna (CRPA) systems, and precision timing/positioning equipment with controlled features.
Compliance tip
Confirm whether your receiver actually uses government-code decryption or an adaptive (null-steering) antenna — these are the triggers, and standard commercial receivers fall outside. Where 7A005 applies, the Missile Technology reason narrows license-exception eligibility; verify against the entry and Part 744 end-use rules.
Items Covered
- a.Employing a decryption algorithm specially designed or modified for government use to access the ranging code for position and time; or
- b.Employing 'adaptive antenna systems'.
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 anti-terrorism reasons. Most items on the CCL have AT controls.
