Related Controls
(1) See ECCNs 1E001 ("development" and "production") and 1E201 ("use") for technology for items controlled by this entry. (2) Certain alpha-emitting radionuclides are subject to the export licensing authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (see 10 CFR part 110).
Items may also be controlled under the ITAR (22 CFR 121) administered by the State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

Export Control Context
Category 1 covers advanced materials, chemicals, microorganisms, and toxins. Many items are controlled under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) and Australia Group commitments. Chemical precursors and biological agents require careful screening of end-use and end-user.
