Export Control Classification
Ensure that goods are assigned the right export control classification globally - standardized, automated, cost- and time effective

Export control classification software that helps to ensure export compliance
When exporting goods, companies must comply with export control regulations that restrict certain items from being shipped. This can be complex, as regulations frequently change and each territory has its own specific legislation governing the classification of exported goods.
For exports from the US for example, items will require a five-character alphanumeric code known as an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). To locate this, exporters should refer to the Commerce Control List (CCL) for all terms that describe the details of the product, taking care to be as specific as possible.
For items shipped from EU countries, there are EU-wide regulations governing export control classification, though specific controls in relation to military items are determined by each member state. Licensing is handled by national authorities, such as BAFA in Germany and SBDU in France.
Given the complexity of these regulations and international differences, it’s essential that exporters accurately identify and categorize their goods to ensure compliance with international export control laws.
MIC’s Export Control Classification software offers a cost-effective solution for the determination, assignment and validation of export control classifications according to particular export control commodity lists that helps to ensure this compliance. Most importantly, the software allows clearly structured control of the entire export control classification process at a global level.
