Moving to EAR License Exceptions after Export Control Reform
Export Control Reform issues are complex. Read about the Challenges
Visual Compliance, from eCustoms, empowers your reclassification team to efficiently make correct decisions regarding your goods’ USML or CCL classifications, improving compliance while saving valuable time.
While the free BIS online decision tools such as the Commerce Control List (CCL) Order of Review Decision Tool can be helpful in understanding the steps and decision points required, it is only for those USML items that you have already determined are moving to the CCL. Our solution goes much further, covering both the DDTC and BIS portions of the Order of Review. Beyond providing guidance, it actually helps organizations reclassify products, parts, and technology previously on the USML and subject to the ITAR into their new USML categories or CCL ECCN numbers under the EAR, greatly reducing the amount of effort and time required by your key knowledge workers. It also creates a complete, defensible audit trail.

Visual Compliance Export Control Reform (ECR) Solution Tangible Benefits
Visual Compliance clients are already using this solution, improving the quality of their reclassification decisions and enjoying the savings.

Clients also report increased confidence in their ability to follow the Order of Review correctly.
Regardless of your company’s size, if you deal with defense-related goods controlled by the ITAR, the Export Control Reform (ECR) initiative will increase your compliance costs and may expose you to risk if inadvertent errors occur. You have to determine and implement the required changes for all of your products according to very specific procedures (the “Order of Review”) recommended by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) and the Directorate of Defense Trade Control (DDTC). These authorities also recommend that you document your process and decisions in order to be able to prove due diligence.
The BIS/DDTC Order of Review is an arduous sequence of steps that involves repetitive exhaustive reviews of both the old and new regulations for each item or range of products. It is a detail-intensive procedure that you must master from the onset or risk facing even bigger problems in the future.
