+== What is Gateworks Export Classification? ==
+International Terms and Definitions
+=== ECCN: ===
+
+Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) is a specific alpha-numeric code that identifies the level of export control for articles, technology and software (collectively, "Items") that are exported from member states of the Wassenaar arrangement: ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wassenaar_Arrangement including the United States. The ECCN classification that applies to any specific item is determined by referring to a table that is issued for the United States by the Bureau of Industry and Security: ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bureau_of_Industry_and_Security. See the Export Administration Regulations(EAR): ​http://www.gpo.gov/bis/index.html, codified at 15 C.F.R. ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_of_Federal_Regulations. The ECCN table contains hundreds of ECCN codes that are organized according to the technical parameters and/or end use of the hardware, software or technology that is being exported.
+
+
+'''For Gateworks we are classified as ECCN 5A992'''. We can ship to any country in the world except Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Be sure that the SED document indicates “NLR” which means “No License Required”.
+
+=== Harmonized Codes (HTS): ===
+
+All of the imports and export codes used by the United States are based on the Harmonized Tariff System (HTS). The HTS assigns 6-digit codes for general categories. Countries which use the HTS are allowed to define commodities at a more detailed level than 6-digits, but all definitions must be within that 6-digit framework. The U.S. defines products using 10-digit HTS (Harmonized Tariff Code) codes. Exports codes (which the U.S. calls Schedule B) are administered by the U.S. Census Bureau. Import codes are administered by the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC). 
+
+All Gateworks goods should be classified as: 10 digit (US Schedule B) ~ 8517.70.0000 = Parts, 6 digit ~ 8517.70 = Parts.
