Classification Details
| Category | 3 — Electronics |
| Product Group | C — Materials |
| Description | Organo-inorganic compounds as follows (see List of Items Controlled). |
| Control Reasons | ATNS |
| License Exceptions | GBSLVS |
Items Controlled
a. Organo-metallic compounds of aluminum, gallium or indium, having a purity (metal basis) better than 99.999%; b. Organo-arsenic, organo-antimony and organo-phosphorus compounds, having a purity (inorganic element basis) better than 99.999%.
Related Controls
This entry controls only compounds whose metallic, partly metallic or non-metallic element is directly linked to carbon in the organic part of the molecule.
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 3 covers electronics including integrated circuits, semiconductor devices, and signal processing equipment. This is one of the largest categories on the CCL. 3A001 (electronic components) and related ECCNs are frequently encountered in semiconductor and advanced manufacturing supply chains.
