BIS update CCL implementing Wassenaar 2009

On September 7, 2010, BIS updated CCL which identifies items subject to DoC export control.
The change is to implement Wassenaar December 2009 Plenary Agreement which covers dual-use goods and technologies.

The change pertains to Categories 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Part I (telecommunication), 6, 7, and 9.

Please be noted ECCN 5A002, 5D002, 6A002, 6A003, 8A002 and all related ECCNs will be implemented in a separate rule because of the sensitivity of the items and complexity of procedures.

In addition, APP (Adjusted Peak Performance) of digital computer 4A003 will be implemented in a separate rule when the President's report for High Performance Computers has been sent to Congress that sets forth the new APP in accordance with the National Defense Authorization Act for FY1998. (Looking at CCL of 4A003.b as of today, the APP is still 0.75WT, while WA 2009 set APP in 1.5WT.)

As for other countries, Japan and Hong Kong already implement Wassenaar 2009, while EU and Singapore still maintain Wassenaar 2008 dual-use list.
