gateUSExportControls — EAR Export Screening Gate
// IMMO.QUICK · GATEUSEXPORTCONTROLS · 15 CFR 730-774 · EAR

One entity-list hit, no export.

gateUSExportControls forensically seals that a dual-use export passes six clusters, ECCN classification, re-export control, licence exception, deemed export, end-user screening, and encryption notification, before the goods ship at T=0. Ex-ante reinforcement of the US side of the EU Data Act versus EAR collision pattern.

In one sentence: gateUSExportControls checks every dual-use export against ECCN classification and the BIS entity list, before the goods reach customs.
✓ RELEVANT IF...
  • You ship dual-use goods, technology, or software under US export control law
  • You need to check deemed-export risks for technology transfer to foreign employees
✕ NOT RELEVANT IF...
  • You expect the BIS to automatically recognise the result as an export licence
  • No dual-use good or US export control is involved
// The problem

An ECCN misclassification only becomes visible at the BIS audit.

The Export Administration Regulations require correct ECCN classification and seamless end-user screening. gateUSExportControls checks both before every export, complementing the already existing gateDefenseExport.

Deemed export as its own, often overlooked cluster
Mere access by a foreign employee to controlled technology domestically already counts as an export under 15 CFR §734.20. The gate checks this separately from the physical shipment.
// Architecture

6 clusters, checked sequentially.

Every cluster is dispositive (material_block_mode: true), a hit blocks bindingly, not merely for documentation.

CLUSTER 1
ECCN Classification
Checks the correct Export Control Classification Number for the item or technology.
eccn_code · classification_confirmed
CLUSTER 2
Re-Export Control
Checks re-export restrictions for onward shipment by the initial buyer to a third country.
reexport_restriction_flag
CLUSTER 3
Licence Exception
Checks whether an applicable licence exception exists or an export licence is required.
license_exception_hash
CLUSTER 4
Deemed Export
Checks foreign nationals' access to controlled technology domestically under 15 CFR §734.20.
deemed_export_flag
CLUSTER 5
End-User Screening
Checks the end user against the BIS Entity List and other denied-party lists.
enduser_screening_hash · entity_list_hit
CLUSTER 6
Encryption Notification
Checks the encryption notification under 15 CFR §740.17 for products containing cryptography.
encryption_notification_hash
No case, no doubt
Every cluster returns its own sealed result. A single hit in an active cluster is enough to block the overall action.
// Test results

Every test produces a deterministic receipt_id, an input_snapshot_hash, an HMAC-SHA256 signature, and a merkle_link to the previous receipt. Persistence occurs in the gateUSExportControlsReceipt entity with a 10-year retention period.
// Clarification

What gateUSExportControls is not.

  • Not automatic recognition by the BIS. The gate delivers a cryptographic proof, not an export licence.
  • Not a replacement for gateDefenseExport for war materiel. The gate adds the dual-use check under EAR, not arms control.

For exporters that want to make dual-use exports provable under the EAR.
