Information on BIS Export Controls
**********************************************************************
The Automated Export System contains several data fields describing
export controlled items. The license code, license number and ECCN
are data fields used by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) to
control exports. The AES Branch of the Census Bureau often gets
questions related to these license fields that we are unable to
answer. If you need more information on the BIS export controls or
want to understand the Export Administration Regulations and how to
use them, please refer to the following link. This link will take
you to the BIS website and provide you with a frequently asked
questions guide to export licensing requirements for commercial items.
