CCL (Commerce Control List)

The Commerce Control List (CCL) is a regulatory framework used by the U.S. government to control the export of certain goods, technologies, and information that could impact national security, foreign policy, or economic interests. Items on the CCL include military equipment, dual-use technologies (which have both civilian and military applications), and sensitive materials. Businesses must comply with the CCL when exporting these items, often requiring special licenses to ensure they are not used in harmful ways or sent to restricted destinations. This helps protect national interests while allowing for international trade.
