Materials, Chemicals - Test/Inspection Equipment

ECCN 1B covers test and inspection equipment designed specifically for use with materials and chemicals, such as analytical instruments, spectrometers, and detectors that measure composition, purity, or performance. These items are controlled because they can be used to develop or verify chemical processes and therefore may have dual-use implications for national security and non-proliferation. Export of such equipment requires a license when shipped to destinations subject to the Commerce Control List.
