ECCN 8A992
ATVessels, marine systems or equipment, not controlled by 8A001 or 8A002, and specially designed parts and components therefor, and marine boilers and parts, components, accessories, and attachments therefor .
What This ECCN Covers
ECCN 8A992 covers vessels, marine systems, and equipment not controlled by 8A001 or 8A002 — for example certain underwater vision systems, marine boilers, and specially designed parts and components — controlled only for Anti-Terrorism. As an AT-only entry, it applies to a limited set of destinations rather than broadly.
Who needs to check this?
Exporters of commercial marine equipment — underwater cameras and lighting, marine boilers, and vessel components — who have ruled out 8A001 and 8A002.
Compliance tip
AT-only control means most destinations need no license, but terrorism-designated destinations are restricted and may fall under OFAC programs. Confirm the item is not caught by 8A001/8A002 first, and screen all parties against the Entity and SDN lists.
Items Covered
- a.Underwater vision systems, as follows:
- 1. Television systems (comprising camera, lights, monitoring and signal transmission equipment) having a limiting resolution when measured in air of more than 500 lines and specially designed or modified for remote operation with a submersible vehicle; or
- 2. Underwater television cameras having a limiting resolution when measured in air of more than 700 lines;
- b.Photographic still cameras specially designed or modified for underwater use, having a film format of 35 mm or larger, and having autofocusing or remote focusing specially designed for underwater use;
- c.Stroboscopic light systems, specially designed or modified for underwater use, capable of a light output energy of more than 300 J per flash;
- d.Other underwater camera equipment, n.e.s.;
- e.Other submersible systems, n.e.s.;
- f.Vessels, n.e.s., including inflatable boats, and specially designed "parts" and "components" therefor, n.e.s.;
- g.Marine engines (both inboard and outboard) and submarine engines, n.e.s.; and specially designed "parts" and "components" therefor, n.e.s.;
- h.Other self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba gear) and related equipment, n.e.s.;
- i.Life jackets, inflation cartridges, compasses, wetsuits, masks, fins, weight belts, and dive computers;
- j.Underwater lights and propulsion equipment;
- k.Air compressors and filtration systems specially designed for filling air cylinders.
- l.Marine boilers designed to have any of the following characteristics:
- 1. Heat release rate (at maximum rating) equal to or in excess of 190,000 BTU per hour per cubic foot of furnace volume; or
- 2. Ratio of steam generated in pounds per hour (at maximum rating) to the dry weight of the boiler in pounds equal to or in excess of 0.83.
- m.Major "components," "accessories," and "attachments" for marine boilers described in 8A992.l.
