The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the Commerce Control List
(CCL) within the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), which includes items
subject to their export licensing authority.
The CCL does not include those items exclusively controlled for export or
re-export by another department or agency of the U.S. Government. In instances
where agencies other than the Department of Commerce administer controls over
related items, entries in the CCL contain a reference to these controls.
BIS also maintains the Commerce Country Chart. The
Commerce Country Chart, located in Supplement No. 1 to part 738, contains licensing requirements based
on destination and Reason for Control.
In combination with the CCL, the Commerce Country Chart allows you to
determine whether a license is required for items on the CCL to a specific
country.
