Export Control Guide for Determining the ECCN of Artificial Intelligence Technologies
This document provides guidance for identifying the correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, systems, software, and associated technical data. It focuses on classification criteria and parameters under the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR), and where applicable, highlights when escalation is required.

Export Control Guidance and Risk Considerations (AI)
This document provides guidance to help BNL researchers and staff identify and understand export-control risks associated with Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, systems, software, and related technical information. It addresses key considerations, including foreign-person access, deemed exports, international collaborations, restricted parties, sensitive applications, and access to AI models, datasets, and computing environments. The guidance is intended to help recognize activities that may require additional review and consultation with the Export Control Office.

Export Control – Quick Reference Guide (AI)
This Quick Reference Guide provides a rapid screening tool to help identify when AI activities may require export control review. This guide does not authorize any export activity and is not a substitute for formal Export Control review. For detailed ECCN classification guidance, refer to the AI – ECCN Classification and Determination Guide. For broader exportcontrol risks and regulatory considerations, refer to the AI – Export Control Guidance and Risk Considerations. For Genesisspecific activities, refer to the AI – Export Control Genesis Implementation Guide.

Export Control – Genesis Implementation Guide
This document provides program-specific guidance for applying BNL AI Export Control requirements within the Genesis initiative. Genesis is a shared, collaborative scientific-computing and AI environment supporting multi-institution research and advanced system integration. This document should be used in conjunction with the AI – Export Control Quick Reference Guide, AI – Export Control Guidance and Risk Considerations, and AI – ECCN Classification and Determination Guide, as applicable.

Guidance for Determining the ECCN for Microelectronics and Semiconductor Related Items
This document provides guidance for identifying the correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for microelectronics, integrated circuits, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, quantum-related microelectronics, and associated software and technology under the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR). It highlights the principal Category 3 controls, the worldwide controls applicable to specified quantum and other advanced-technology items, and the additional advanced-computing and semiconductor-manufacturing restrictions that can apply under Parts 734, 742, and 744.

Guidance for Determining the ECCN for Quantum Technologies
This document provides guidance for identifying the correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for quantum technologies and associated technical data. It focuses on the classification criteria and parameters under the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and, where applicable, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). The guidance helps determine whether quantum equipment, software, or technical information is subject to control, and which ECCNs and reasons for control apply.

Regulations Regarding Quantum Technology Controls
Quantum - Worldwide License Requirement ECCNS: THE 18 NEW ECCNS IDENTIFIED IN THE 900 SERIES OF CCL: WORLDWIDE LICENSE REQUIREMENTS AND MORE LIMITED LICENSE EXCEPTION AVAILABILITY

Guidance for Determining the ECCN for: Robotics and Associated Software/Technology
This document provides guidance for identifying the correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for robots, robotic end-effectors, controllers, remote manipulators, and associated software and technology under the U.S. Department of Commerce Export Administration Regulations (EAR). It focuses on Category 2 robot controls, including ECCNs 2B007, 2B207, 2B225, and 2B997, while requiring review of military/600-series and other platform-specific controls when applicable.

Guidance for Determining the ECCN for Superconducting Magnets
This document provides guidance for identifying the correct Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) for superconducting magnets and associated technology. It focuses on the criteria and parameters under the U.S. Department of Commerce, Export Administration Regulations (EAR) that determine whether a superconducting magnet is controlled under ECCN 3A001.e.3 or 3A201.b, and which associated technology ECCNs (3E001 and 3E201) apply.
