The classification request process results in which classification?

• A. ECCN designation
• B. EAR99 designation
• C. ECCN or EAR99 classification
• D. ITAR classification

Answer: (C)

When classifying for export controls under the EAR, the result is either an ECCN designation or an EAR99 designation. If the item is listed on the Commerce Control List with a specific ECCN, that ECCN defines its control level and licensing requirements. If the item isn’t listed, it falls under EAR99, which generally carries less restrictive licensing but can still require licenses for certain destinations or end-uses. ITAR classification is separate and applies to defense articles under the U.S. Munitions List, not to EAR classification. So the outcome of a classification request is determined by whether the item has a specific ECCN or is designated EAR99.
