Interactive CCL

BIS (Bureau of Industry and Security) released an updated version of the Interactive CCL earlier this year. In my opinion the new version is much more user friendly than previous editions. It is easier to search by keywords and browse ECCN entries. Navigating and comparing the entries is still pretty time consuming, however.

Here is the link to the CCL:

What’s Your Currency

Did you know? The dollar symbol, $, is used by quite a few countries around the globe, including theĀ United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Hong Kong.

Currency designation is required information on Commercial Invoices. If your transaction is in US dollars indicate USD on the CI. The dollar sign alone is not sufficient and will most likely cause a delay in customs.
