Category 6 - Sensors and Lasers

Category 6 of the Export Administration Regulations governs dual-use sensors, lasers and related equipment, including infrared and optical detectors, rangefinders, LIDAR systems, laser assemblies, and components used for measurement, targeting, or imaging. Controls are based on performance parameters such as wavelength, power output and resolution, reflecting the potential for military or strategic use. Export requires a license unless an exemption applies.
