Wetted components (i.e., components that come into contact with the fluid being processed (e.g., valve body, liner, closure element)) and their materials of construction.  For materials, please use full chemical names.  For alloys, please specify 100% elemental composition. 

Nominal valve size in inches.  

Name of chemical or mixture (names of the active ingredients in the mixture) 

Chemical Abstract Service Registry (C.A.S.) numbers 

• 1C3350 Technical Note #3: Precursor chemicals in ECCN 1C350 are listed by name, Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number and CWC Schedule (where applicable). Precursor chemicals of the same structural formula (e.g., hydrates, isotopically-labeled forms or all possible stereoisomers) are controlled by ECCN 1C350, regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying whether a particular precursor chemical or mixture is controlled under ECCN 1C350, irrespective of nomenclature. However, CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers in all situations because some forms of the listed precursor chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a precursor chemical listed in ECCN 1C350 may also have different CAS numbers.

• For example:  Sodium Sulfide Nonahydrate (CAS #313-84-4), a hydrate of Sodium Sulfide, (1C350d.48; CAS# 1313-82-2), is controlled under 1C350. 

Unit of measure in “kilograms” only 

Statement about the reasonableness of quantity requested 

Weight percentage of each chemical (if a mixture) (Total weight percent of ingredients in the mixture must add up to 100%) Note: The Manufacturers Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is not often sufficient because it does not disclose the proprietary input required for evaluation. 

Provide detailed end use of the export item: what chemicals are being processed and what is the final end product(s), Input/output ratio of the controlled chemical to the end-product. 

Provide End-Use Certificate for exports of Schedule 3 chemicals to countries not listed in Supplement No. 2 to part 745 of the EAR. 

In the ‘Units’ block, indicate vial, weight (mg, ug) or volume (mL, uL); ‘EACH’ is not acceptable ‘Units’ in most cases. You may add number of vials X mass or volume/vial = Total quantity. 

Ensure the item description clearly names the toxin, microorganism or genetic element (and source organism). For example, ‘1C353 plasmid containing genetic elements from the 1C351 controlled rabies virus’. 

Any alternative names for the organism: For example, Variola virus is the same as smallpox, Lyssa virus is the same as rabies. 

A summary of current research activities of the institution when the organism is intended for use in research. This may include example publications from the institution. 

For individual researchers, place the name of the institution or university where the product is to be delivered in the Ultimate Consignee or End-User block. Provide the researcher’s name, date & place of birth, academic background, work experience, summary of research history, and recent publications in the Additional Information section – do not place an individual’s name in the Consignee or End-User block unless applying for a Deemed Export license. For additional requirements and information on Deemed Exports, please see Deemed exports and fundamental research for biological and chemical items. 

Identify the specific department in which the item will be used, i.e., biology, pathology, radiology, etc. in the End-Use block. Specific laboratories within the department should be noted in “Additional information”. 

Process flow chart for the main processing stages 

A detailed description of manufacturing process and application for the technology 

Technology control plan - Equipment, control systems and raw materials used in the process 

The form in which the technology will be released 

The address where the technology will be released 

Output capacity of manufacturing plant 

Description of technical assistance and training of foreign nationals, 

Safeguards and training to prevent diversion of both the technology and the direct product to chemical or biological weapons use 

Copies of passport, visa, work-authorization and resume of the foreign individual 

Describe any special funding source, such as an international institution, i.e., World Health Organization, DTRA, foreign government, etc. 

Indicate if the end user is a U.S. subsidiary or a joint venture, or if there is some other relationship with the exporter, i.e., periodic servicing or on-site visitation. 

Provide information on licensing history, i.e., approvals, denials, RWA’s and the reasons for RWA’s. If this is a resubmission of an RWA-ed license, please be sure to address the reason it was RWA-ed and provide the requested information or explanation. 

For items classified under EAR99, indicate the reason why the application is being submitted. 

Double check your Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) determination and number. 

Double check all spellings and addresses and make sure address is correct. 

Review your application carefully to ensure that requirements in Sections II and III above have been met. 

Are the quantities and dollar values correct? BIS cannot accept a dollar value of ‘0’.  

Have you properly noted supporting documentation? 

Does the supporting documentation match the application? (Correct parties on business certificates, correct items, values and parties in MOFCOM certificates, correct technical specification sheets, etc) 

Have you described the specific end use in detail? 

Have you identified all end users and provided appropriate background information?  

Include a letter of explanation if additional information is needed to adequately describe the transaction.
