ECCN Export Control Classification
GingerControl's Export Control Classifier reads your technical documentation, searches all 10 CCL categories, checks every control parameter in each candidate ECCN, and returns an ECCN or EAR99 with the reasoning behind it. It asks one targeted question only when your documents cannot resolve a branch.

EAR99
AI Runs the Candidate Search
The AI searches the Commerce Control List for candidate ECCNs and lines each one up against the control parameters it pulled from your documents.

Report ✓Answer One Question, Get the Report
Only when classification branches conflict does the AI ask one minimal question. Every run ends in a mandatory research report.
What No Other Export Control Tool Does Together
Screen
Candidates found by searching the list against your actual documents, instead of asking you to pick a category yourself.
CCL CAT 0–9 SEARCHED
EAR99
EAR99 Determination, With the Reasoning
When no Commerce Control List entry applies, the report concludes EAR99 and records which categories were searched and why each was ruled out, instead of leaving the item unclassified.
Analyze
Control parameters checked one by one, not guessed from a one-line product description.
Deep Control Parameter Analysis
For each candidate ECCN, the AI checks every control parameter, performance, capacity, frequency, accuracy, against your specifications, including the 'specially designed' analysis under EAR Part 772.
Document
Every run ends in a mandatory research report, not a bare code.

Complete Candidate Reasoning
Every report lists every candidate ECCN considered, with inclusion and exclusion reasoning for each, so your compliance team or counsel can trace exactly how the result was reached.
The "Are You Hardware or Software?" Problem
"Export classification tools that open with 'Are you hardware or software? Do you have encryption?' hand the hardest judgment back to the customer. People come to a tool precisely because they do not know. If they knew whether their BLE stack counts as controlled encryption, they would not need one."
How the Classifier Answers That
| One wrong answer in a yes/no question tree sends the whole classification down the wrong branch. | The AI never opens with a quiz. It reads your documents, runs the candidate search itself, and asks one minimal question only when branches conflict. |
|---|---|
| I cannot tell whether the BLE or AES in my firmware counts as controlled encryption. | The AI extracts encryption strength and other parameters from your spec sheet and measures them against each candidate ECCN’s control thresholds. |
| Getting this wrong is not back taxes, it can mean the Entity List and personal liability for directors. | That is why the research report is mandatory, not optional. Every run documents which candidates were checked and why, for your counsel to review. |
How GingerControl Compares

Frequently Asked Questions
Does GingerControl cover ITAR and the USML?
+
No. The classifier works under the EAR: it returns an ECCN, or EAR99 when no Commerce Control List entry applies. USML and ITAR determinations are out of scope, and defense articles should go to your export counsel.
What makes GingerControl’s ECCN classification different from other tools?
+
Most ECCN tools either ask you to pick your own category or match your description against ECCN text at the surface. GingerControl reads your technical specifications and checks every control parameter in each candidate ECCN, including the 'specially designed' analysis under EAR Part 772, before it asks you anything.
Can GingerControl help if we have no dedicated trade compliance staff?
+
Yes. The Export Control Classifier is built for manufacturers and startups exporting without an in-house trade compliance team. The AI reads your spec sheets, runs the candidate search itself, and asks one minimal question only when classification branches conflict.
Does GingerControl provide audit-ready documentation?
+
Every classification run produces a mandatory research report with the full reasoning chain: which candidate ECCNs were evaluated, which control parameters were checked, and why each candidate was included or excluded. Reports can be exported, kept with your compliance records, or shared with export counsel.
Is the Export Control Classifier available via API?
+
Not currently. The Export Control Classifier runs as an interactive Q&A workflow in the GingerControl web app: upload your technical documents, answer a targeted question when your documents cannot resolve a branch, and receive the research report online.

This is an HTS classification researcher. Results are for general reference, educational, and planning purposes only, designed to enable better communication between trade compliance teams, importers, and licensed customs brokers. Per CBP Ruling HQ H290535, providing HTS classifications beyond 6 digits for specific imports constitutes "customs business" under 19 U.S.C. § 1641.
