Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)

The Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is a number assigned by the US government to goods and technologies that are subject to export controls. The ECCN is used to determine the level of export controls that apply to a specific product or technology and to identify the licensing requirements for exporting it from the US. It is based on a product's category, characteristics, and potential uses.
