Commerce Control List

The Commerce Control List (CCL) is a list maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce that identifies items, technologies, and software that require special licenses for export. This list is important for national security and foreign policy, as it helps regulate the export of sensitive goods to ensure they do not contribute to military buildup or terrorism. Items on the CCL can range from advanced electronics to specific industrial materials. Businesses must check this list to comply with U.S. laws when exporting products to other countries.
