Definitions
- Multilateral export control cooperation is sought through ar-rangements such as the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Australia Group, and the Missile Technology Control Regime.
- the EAR also include some export controls to protect the United States from the adverse impact of the unrestricted export of commodities in short supply.
- the EAR may require a license to a country if a product is listed on the

- ECCN Export Con-trol Classification Numbers
- a system includes a server for receiving license determination requests and providing export license deteraiinations in response to the requests.
- Figure 1 is an illustration of an export license determination server.
- Figure 2 is an illustration of events and corresponding responses by the server.
- Figure 3 is an illustration of an exemplary license determination table for the server.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an export license determination server 10.
- the server 10 includes a network interface 12 that is connected to a network 14.
- a network 14 There is no limitation as to the type of network 14.
- the network 14 can be a corporate intranet or the Internet.
- the server 10 provides an export license determination engine 16, a license determination table 18, a license portfolio table 20, and a country group table 22.
- the network interface 12 receives information about pending transactions via the network 14, and passes the information to the engine 16.
- the engine 16 uses the tables 18, 20 and 22 to make an export license determination with respect to the transaction.
- the pending transaction might be the sale of a product to a destination country.
- the transaction information may include a destination country.
- the server 10 uses the country group table 22 to determine a country group for the destination country.
- a country group may include one or more countries.
- the license determination table 18 includes a series of cells. Each cell indicates a license determination for a particular country group and classification group. A license determination might indicate that a license is not needed, a license is needed but is already in place, manual work is needed (e.g., a license is needed and must be executed, additional assurances are needed to comply with controlling export laws), a transaction is not allowed, etc.
- details of the transaction may be stored in a transaction data database 26. If the license determination indicates that further work is needed, details of the transaction may be stored in a work buffer 24. The transaction may remain in the work buffer 24 until another event occurs. As a first example, the transaction may remain in the work buffer 24 until additional manual work brings the transaction into compliance with all export regulations (e.g., an export license is executed). Once the transaction is brought into compliance, it is moved from the work buffer 24 to the transaction data database 26. As a second example, the transaction is deleted from the work buffer 24 if the transaction is cancelled.
- all export regulations e.g., an export license is executed
- the license portfolio table 20 stores electronic versions of export licenses that are referenced by the license determination table 18.
- Other transaction information supplied to the server 10 might include ship- to-address, ship-from-address, contract party, and deliver-to-address. This information may be used for audit and legal reporting purposes. This information also facilitates manual follow-ups whenever necessary (as in the case of individual validated licenses).
- the transaction information may be supplied by any client 28, 30 that can connect to the server 10.
- the clients may be personal computers and workstations that are connected to the server 10 via the network 14.
- Certain clients could include calling applications 28 (e.g., other software applications that make requests for license determinations).
- calling applications may be integrated with the server 10.
- Figure 2 shows a number of events, and actions taken by the server 10 in response to the events.
- the events include (1) quote, (2) order entry, (3) change order, (4) cancel order, (5) pre-shipment, (6) shipment, (7) backlog check, (8) manual release, and (9) legal update.
- the first six events are initiated by calling applications.
- a calling application supplies transaction data to the server 10.
- the server 10 makes an export license determination and notifies the calling application of the license determination. If “hold” is the export license determination, details of the order are stored in the work buffer 24. If “okay” is the dete ⁇ nination the details of the order are placed in the transaction data database 26.
- a calling application informs the server of this event, and the server 10 returns a status to the calling application.
- the server 10 also causes the details of the order to be moved from the transaction date database 26 to the audit trail database 32.
- the eighth and ninth events are initiated by a user such as an export administrator. If an export regulation is changed, the user causes the server 10 to perform an export license determination on each order in the work buffer 24 and the transaction data database 26.
- a legal update would occur, for example, if a country is moved to a list of embargoed countries. For any pending transactions concerning the newly embargoed country, fransaction details would be moved from the transaction data database 26 to the work buffer 24.
- Figure 3 shows one way in which the license determination table 18 may be organized: as a matrix 110.
- Country groups extend along one axis, and the classification groups extend along the other axis.
- Each cell 112 of the matrix 110 contains license information.
- Each row corresponds to a single country group and contains different license determinations for different classification groups. For example, one row might correspond to a group of embargoed countries.
- Each column corresponds to a single classification group and contains different license determinations for different country groups.
- one cell 112 might indicate that a license is not needed for the corresponding country group and classification.
- the license determination for that country group would be "NLR" (no license required).
- Another cell 112 might indicate that a license is already in place for a given country group and classification group.
- the server 10 will then check the license portfolio table 20 to determine whether an actual license is available and its parameters match the given transactions. If the parameters match, the license determination for that country group and classification will be "okay.” If there is no match, the license determination for that country group and classification will be "hold” and the fransaction will be placed in the work buffer 24 until further action is taken (e.g. applying for and adding the actual license into the license portfolio table 20).
- Another cell 112 might indicate that a license is in place, but the product could be used for military as well as civilian purposes.
- the license determination for that country and product would be "hold,” and the transaction would be placed in the work buffer 24 until further action was taken (e.g., ensuring that the product would be used for civilian use only). It might also indicate the country in which the additional work is needed.
- the matrix 110 shown in Figure 3 contains thirty cells 112. In practice, any number of cells 112 may be used.
