Export License Screener

A shop-floor triage aid: enter a part number or a plain-language description of a piece of equipment to get a fast first read on whether it is likely to need a US export license — its Commerce Control List category and ECCN, and why — plus a restricted-party check on the consignee. Use it to decide what can move and what to hold for export-compliance sign-off.

Proof-of-concept demo. Known part numbers are matched against a fictional product catalog (“Helios Dynamics”) and the consignee is screened against a fictional restricted-party list — not the real Consolidated Screening List. Sample data, for demonstration only.

Not legal or compliance advice. This tool does a keyword screen against a small, illustrative knowledge base, plus a lookup against fictional demo data. It cannot and does not produce an official classification, and a green result is not authorization to export. The real outcome depends on the precise technical parameters of the item, its jurisdiction (EAR vs. ITAR vs. NRC/DOE), the destination, the end-user and the end-use — and on the current regulations, which change frequently. Restricted-party screening here uses invented data; for real screening use the official Consolidated Screening List (trade.gov) and OFAC SDN. Always confirm with the EAR Commerce Control List, a self-classification or CCATS, and your export-compliance team before shipping. Edit export-license.json, export-catalog.json and denied-parties.json to expand the data.
