PART 742--CONTROL POLICY--CCL BASED CONTROLS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 742.7  Crime control.

    (a) License requirements. In support of U.S. foreign policy to 
promote the observance of human rights throughout the world, a license 
is required to export and reexport crime control and detection 
equipment, related technology and software as follows:
    (1) Crime control and detection instruments and equipment and 
related technology and software identified in the appropriate ECCNs on 
the CCL under CC Column 1 in the Country Chart column of the ``License 
Requirements'' section. A license is required to countries listed in CC 
Column 1 (Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR). Items affected by 
this requirement are identified on the CCL under the following ECCNs: 
0A978, 0A979, 0A984, 0A987, 0E984, 1A984, 1A985, 3A980, 3A981, 3D980, 
3E980, 4A003 (for fingerprint computers only), 4A980, 4D001 (for 
fingerprint computers only), 4D980, 4E001 (for fingerprint computers 
only), 4E980, 6A002 (for police-model infrared viewers only), 6E001 (for 
police-model infrared viewers only), 6E002 (for police-model infrared 
viewers only), and 9A980.
    (2) Shotguns with a barrel length greater than or equal to 24 
inches, identified in ECCN 0A984 on the CCL under CC Column 2 in the 
Country Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section regardless 
of end-user to countries listed in CC Column 2 (Supplement No. 1 part 
738 of the EAR).
    (3) Shotguns with barrel length greater than or equal to 24 inches, 
identified in ECCN 0A984 on the CCL under CC Column 3 in the Country 
Chart column of the ``License Requirements'' section only if for sale or 
resale to police or law enforcement entities in countries listed in CC 
Column 3 (Supplement No. 1 part 738 of the EAR).
    (4) Certain crime control items require a license to all 
destinations, except Canada. These items are identified under ECCNs 
0A982, 0A985, and 0E982. Controls for these items appear in each ECCN; a 
column specific to these controls does not appear in the Country Chart 
(Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (5) See Sec. 742.11 of the EAR for further information on items 
controlled under ECCN 0A983, which require a license to all 
destinations, including Canada.
    (b) Licensing policy. Applications for items controlled under this 
section will generally be considered favorably on a case-by-case basis 
unless there is civil disorder in the country or region or unless there 
is evidence that the government of the importing country may have 
violated internationally recognized human rights. The judicious use

of export controls is intended to deter the development of a consistent 
pattern of human rights abuses, distance the United States from such 
abuses and avoid contributing to civil disorder in a country or region.
    (c) Contract sanctity. Contract sanctity date: August 22, 2000. 
Contract sanctity applies only to items controlled under ECCNs 0A982, 
0A985 and 0E982 destined for countries not listed in CC Column 1 of the 
Country Chart (Supplement No. 1 to part 738 of the EAR).
    (d) U.S. controls. Although the United States seeks cooperation from 
like-minded countries in maintaining controls on crime control and 
detection items, at this time these controls are maintained only by the 
United States.
