Work through the License Determination,
step by step
Once an item is classified, this tool walks the authorization analysis one question at a time across the EAR, ITAR, and OFAC regimes, then assembles your answers into a completed License Determination Record you can download as a Word document and file with the transaction.

Determination record
Classify first. This flow assumes the export classification is already complete (see the Order of Review). You only need the ECCN (or USML category) and the destination country: for an ECCN, the tool pulls the Reasons for Control and cross-references the Commerce Country Chart for that destination automatically. OFAC screening then applies to every transaction.
The Country Chart cross-reference uses a built-in reference dataset that you confirm against the official Interactive CCL and Commerce Country Chart (linked at each step). For informational purposes only; consult qualified counsel for specific transactions.
Start the determination
Confirm the classification from your Order of Review. At this stage the tool needs only the ECCN (or USML category) and the destination country.

Batch license-requirement screen
Upload a spreadsheet of transactions — one row per item → destination — and the tool runs the objective, data-driven part of the determination for each: jurisdiction, the Commerce Country Chart cross-reference, Part 746 embargo programs, and candidate license exceptions. Party screening (Part 744 / OFAC) and the specific conditions of any license exception or ITAR exemption still require human review.
- Download the template — columns: Reference, Classification, Country of Ultimate Destination.
- Fill one row per item → destination. Classification = an ECCN (e.g., 6A003), EAR99, or a USML category (e.g., XII(c)). Group a transaction’s multiple items by re-using the same Reference.
- Upload it below and run.
