Title: Automated Export System and Shippers Export Declaration--Requirement To Show Paragraphs in Export Control Classification Numbers 
Abstract: The Export Administration Regulations currently require that the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) be entered for certain exports from the United States. The lists of items in some ECCNs is further broken down by paragraphs that describe the items covered by that ECCN with greater precision. In some instances, the export license requirements, availability of license exceptions and license application review policy are affected by that paragraph designation. The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) is considering requiring that paragraph designations be included in the ECCN field on Automated Export System entries and on paper Shipper's Export Declarations. Requiring that additional information would, in some transactions, allow BIS to determine more quickly the accuracy of a claimed use of authority to ship without a license or pursuant to an license exception. In addition, this information would enable BIS to target its end use checks of exports more effectively because it could select items of the greatest significance without extensive follow up information from the exporter. By taking advantage of the additional information, BIS could make more effective use of its limited enforcement resources.
