Certain countries, organizations and individuals are prohibited from receiving U.S. exports.   Others may only receive goods if they have been licensed.  This is true based on the ECCN and Commerce Country Chart, an EAR99 designation, ITAR Prohibited Countries, or the Denied Persons List - even for items that do not normally require a license.
