This portion of IBM's Web site provides information on the export control status of IBM hardware and software products. The following is a comparison of IBM's hardware and software, and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Commerce Control List. This information is not intended to replace the EAR but is intended to be used in conjunction with the EAR to assist you in the export of IBM's hardware and software products. All Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs) are subject to change without notice.
Terminology

ECCN (Export Control Classification Number)
A five-digit alphanumeric classification system used to determine U.S. export licensing requirements. The ECCN represents a specific commodity defined in the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR). For more information on the EAR please visit the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) web site or contact their offices directly.

Classification ID
A four-digit alphanumeric identification code, assigned by IBM, to a specific ECCN. Classification IDs are only meaningful for IBM products. They exist to account for ECCNs which include multiple defined items and authorization under their definition (for example, 5D992 can be limited encryption, weak encryption, or Mass Market strong encryption. The Classification ID assigned to a particular 5D992 product clarifies which it is). The description for Classification IDs can be found in the Classification Tables for hardware and software products.
