Export Control Classification Number

[Sojourneer]

Hi:

Could someone tell me the ECCN for JFreeChart 1.0.6?

Thanks.

[Taqua]

There is none. A ECCN is a US invention, and as JFreeChart is not developed by a US-company, applying for a ECCN makes no sense at all (at least for us European developers .

If you need a ECCN for any version, then you would have to do the bureaucratic act on your own.

Unfortunate for us Europeans working for US companies,

Thanks.

Hello,

Sorry, but Taqua is not right. The ECCN is an international Export control and compliance number that is necessary for EVERY Export. Most of the european countries specify their goods according to the european commerce control list (EG dual-use list : http://ec.europa.eu/trade/import-and-ex ... -controls/).
So for Export of a commercial Software using jfreeChart or jFreeReport ( or any other open source or OEM Software), we need to document the libs, on one side to comply with license obligations and on the other side the ECCNs for Export restrictions. Please note, as the US regulations also care about re-export of US items ( any stuff that contains US Content above a certain Limit), we Need to specify both; the EU-ECCN and the US-ECCN and hopefully the US license exception that applies (e.g. TSU for open source).

So please specify:
- Country of origin ( where is jFree Software mainly developed)
- is there us Content in there? ( e.g. other open source libs)
- does the Software have encryption capability and if yes, which algorithm(s) are used with which key length

Thanks and Kind regards
