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.
