Export Control Classification Number

An Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is a code used by the U.S. government to identify specific products, technologies, or software that may be subject to export restrictions. It helps determine whether an export requires a license and ensures control over items that could have national security, foreign policy, or economic implications. ECCNs are part of a system that categorizes items based on their nature and potential uses, helping companies comply with export laws and regulations while facilitating international trade.
