CCL Classification: Technical Data/Technology and Software Webinar

August 29, 2012 1:00 PM EDT

CCL Training for Your Classifications Team

Many companies use a team of regulatory experts and engineers to figure our classifications on the complex and long Commerce Control List. ECTI is happy to offer the perfect training for companies who want to make sure they are getting their classifications right. You could study the CCL for hours and then share what you have learned, or you could just sign up the people who help do classifications for one or both of our 90 minute webinars.

These webinar is specially designed to

Give you an in-depth explanation of how the CCL works
Point out often-overlooked key elements of the CCL
Illustrate proven methods and internal procedures for doing classifications

Classifying your products and technologies can be a complex and difficult task, but it's hard to get compliance right if you get this wrong.

John Black has worked with many companies in a wide range of industries to help them classify their technical data, technology and software in his 27+ years as an export compliance expert. In this webinar, he will use his experience to show you the critical elements of determining the proper ECCN. He will highlight key areas of the CCL and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that you may have never noticed, even though they may play decisive roles in determining the ECCN for your technical data/technology and software.

The webinar will address these and other issues:

Classifying technology and technical data
Classifying software, both source and object code
Recognizing cases where different controls apply to source vs. object code
Understanding the General Technology Note and key EAR definitions
Finding ECCNs that impose strict controls on technology for uncontrolled products
Finding the sometimes thin line between controlled and uncontrolled technical data/technology
Understanding “Publicly Available”
Setting up your team to classify technical data/technology and software
Considering options for short-cut approaches to compliant classifications
Implementing common sense company procedures for classifications
Choosing practical and effective tools for making classifications easier and more accurate

This study of the complex regulations that impact classifications will put you well on your path to doing a better job with your classifications. Knowing more about how to do classifications might not make your life easier, but it should make your exports more compliant.

This seminar, and the CCL Classification: Hardware and Materials Webinar, are the two webinars in the Classification Webinar Power Pack.

The CCL Classification: Technical Data/Technology and Software Webinar will provide PowerPoint slides and notes, and include video and commentary from John Black who has been working in the export controls industry for 27 years.
