I was looking for the ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) for your CCleaner software. I realize pretty much anybody won't have a clue what this even is, but I use your software on occasion for technician work and one of my clients is requesting ECCN's for all of the tools that I use. Would you be able to provide me this information? Thanks very much.

Btw, I tried using the contact form on the website and after a few days, I received a less than helpful automated message. :/

Interesting concept. Does downloading software from a foreign source constitute importing it?

(Apologies for the less than helpful reply Alex)

To be honest, I don't know. Up until my client requested this, I had never heard of it. I know this, for most microsoft applications I have had little problem finding ECCN's. Same goes for FireFox, MalwareBytes, and other more mainstream applications. But, most smaller / niche apps I have completely struck out with.

I also got a response from the developer of Memtest for windows (HCIDesign), and he seemed adamant that due to his applications lack of any form of encryption, it was therefore unnecessary to register an ECCN for it specifically.

Thoughts?

That would seem to make sense ... and finding this site seems to back that up ... http://www.export.go...main_018803.asp

Also depends where it's going from / to of course.

Ok, does CCleaner use any form of encryption?

[marmite]

Nope.

10 points just for following the link

Actually, it most likely does have an ECCN - however that could be EAR99.

Assuming there is any direct US involvement in the development of the software (either in the US, or by a US person), or has US content other than content classified EAR99, then it will have an export classificaiton. Otherwise it comes under "No US jurisdiction" and can be exported free of US export licencing.

If the software does not come under any of the sections in:
http://ecfr.gpoacces....1.3.87&idno=15

then the classification is EAR99, and can be exported without licence (or rather, as "No licence required") - but still cannot be exported to US embargoed countries. (Note: plenty of the ECCN classifications also allow export without licence)

So the original question still actually stands for the developers (since they are usually in the best position to answer the question) - what is the ECCN of the software?
