Essentials of the CCL

This course is designed to provide you with a thorough understanding of the Commerce Control List (CCL) and its classification process. The CCL, administered by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) of the Commerce Department, is a critical component of the United States’ export control regulations.

You will learn about the structure and coverage of the CCL, gaining insights into how it identifies and categorizes controlled commodities and technologies. You will explore the different controls that apply to various destinations and understand the reasons behind these export and re-export restrictions.

By delving into the regulatory language and examining real-world examples, you will develop the skills to determine whether and where your product is classified on the CCL. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to interpret the CCL’s provisions, attributes, and capabilities to correctly classify your products.

Throughout the course, you will gain practical knowledge to enhance your export compliance program. You will learn how to evaluate a product’s coverage and condition for export, ensuring adherence to the regulations. You will also discover the various forms of information that fall outside the technology controls, helping you differentiate between controlled and publicly available information.

By the end of this course, you will have the ability to confidently apply the regulatory language, classify products accurately, and effectively navigate the complexities of the CCL. You will possess the knowledge and tools to mitigate compliance risks and ensure that your export activities align with the regulations.
