To obtain an authorization to export commercial encryption items, you will have to submit a review request, license application or notification, depending on the type of encryption and the end-users. You must use a BIS Form 748P, the Multipurpose Application Form (either electronically through "SNAP-R" or in paper form) to apply for a classification request or export license.

Additionally, the documents below provide step-by-step instructions on how to submit notifications, or fill out BIS 748P form to receive eligibility to export under License Exception ENC or KMI or an export license.
