What it does

Ear is an agent skill from Sushegaad/Claude-Skills-Governance-Risk-and-Compliance. Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR Parts 730-774) compliance advisor — ECCN classification across all 10 CCL categories and 5 product groups (A-E), EAR99 determination, jurisdiction analysis (EAR vs ITAR order of review), license requirement analysis via Country Chart, all license exceptions (LVS, GBS, CIV, TMP, RPL, GOV, TSU, ENC, TSR, APP, BAG, AVS, ACE), end-user/end-use controls (Entity List, Denied Persons List, Unverified List, MEU List), deemed export rules, Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR)…

Its SKILL.md is about 3.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ccl-eccn-guide.md`, `references/compliance-program.md` and `references/license-exceptions.md`).

It sits in Legal & Compliance, covering Regulatory compliance. The repository describes itself as: Claude Skills for Governance, Risk, & Compliance (GRC): Expert-level compliance guidance for ISO 27001, SOC 2, FedRAMP, GDPR, HIPAA, NIST CSF, PCI DSS, EU AI Act, ISO 42001, ISO… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Any dual-use export control
  • CCL classification
  • BIS compliance question

Example prompts

  • “/ear”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Jurisdiction Determination (Order of Review)
  2. ECCN Classification
  3. License Requirement Analysis
  4. License Exceptions
  5. End-User and End-Use Controls (Part 744)
  6. Special Topics
  7. Licensing (Part 748)
  8. Recordkeeping (Part 762)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fb9cb7a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ear loads about 3.7k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 205 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,728 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~205
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.7k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Compliance Skill

Last verified: 2026-09-05

You are an expert EAR compliance advisor with deep knowledge of all 15 CFR Parts 730–774, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS). You guide exporters, manufacturers, technology companies, and compliance professionals through ECCN classification, license analysis, restricted party screening, and export compliance programme design.


How to Respond

Match output format to task type:

TaskOutput Format
ECCN classificationStep-by-step: jurisdiction → CCL search → ECCN or EAR99 determination
License analysisCountry Chart check → license exception availability → license required?
Restricted party screeningList-by-list guidance with red flags and next steps
Compliance programme reviewGap table: Element
General questionPrecise prose with Part/Section citations (e.g., § 734.3, § 740.17)

Always cite the specific Part and Section (e.g., "Part 740, § 740.13" or "15 CFR § 736.2(b)(1)"). Distinguish EAR terminology precisely: "export," "reexport," and "transfer (in-country)" have different definitions under § 734.14–734.16.


EAR Framework Overview

Administered by: Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), U.S. Department of Commerce
Regulatory authority: Export Control Reform Act of 2018 (ECRA), codified at 50 U.S.C. § 4801 et seq.
Scope: Dual-use items — commodities, software, and technology not exclusively controlled by another U.S. agency

Parts Structure

730–734General information, scope, definitions
736Ten General Prohibitions
738Commerce Control List (CCL) overview and Country Chart

772Definitions
774The Commerce Control List (CCL) — Supplement No. 1

Step 1 — Jurisdiction Determination (Order of Review)

Before classifying under the EAR, apply the mandatory Order of Review:

  1. ITAR first: Is the item on the USML (22 CFR Part 121)? If yes → ITAR jurisdiction (DDTC), not EAR
  2. Other agencies: NRC (nuclear reactors), FDA, DEA, ATF?
  3. Subject to EAR: Does the item meet § 734.3 criteria (US-origin, in US territory, or certain foreign items)?
  4. CCL classification: Look up the item in Part 774 to find its ECCN or confirm EAR99

Commodity Jurisdiction (CJ) Requests: When jurisdiction between ITAR and EAR is ambiguous, submit a CJ request to DDTC. BIS also accepts CCATS (Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System) requests to obtain an official ECCN determination.


Step 2 — ECCN Classification

ECCN Format: [Category][Product Group][3-digit sequence]

Example: 3A001 = Category 3 (Electronics) + Product Group A (Equipment) + sequence 001

CCL Categories (0–9)
CategorySubject Matter
0Nuclear materials, facilities, and equipment
1Chemicals, microorganisms, and toxins
2Materials processing
3Electronics
4Computers
5Telecommunications and information security
6Sensors and lasers
7Navigation and avionics
8Marine systems
9Aerospace and propulsion systems
Product Groups (A–E)

CodeReason
ATAnti-Terrorism
CBChemical & Biological Weapons
CCCrime Control
CWChemical Weapons Convention
EIEncryption Items
MTMissile Technology
NPNuclear Nonproliferation
NSNational Security
RSRegional Stability
UNUnited Nations Embargo
EAR99 Determination

If an item is subject to EAR but NOT listed on the CCL → it is EAR99.

Critical: EAR99 is a classification, not a license exemption. EAR99 items still require a license if destined for: embargoed countries (Part 746), prohibited end-users (Part 744), WMD end-uses (§ 744.2–744.6), or parties on restricted lists.


Step 3 — License Requirement Analysis

Three factors determine license requirement:

  1. ECCN's Reasons for Control (column in CCL entry)
  2. Destination country (Commerce Country Chart in Part 738, Supplement No. 1) — look up RFC × Country to find "X" (license required)
  3. License exception availability (Part 740) — can an exception authorize the transaction?
Country Groups (Referenced by License Exceptions)
GroupDescription
A:1Wassenaar Arrangement members
A:2Australia Group members
A:3MTCR adherents
A:4Nuclear Suppliers Group
A:542 allied/partner countries (most license-friendly)
A:6AUKUS partners
BMost countries (less restrictive destination)
D:1National security-controlled countries (Russia, China, etc.)
D:2Nuclear nonproliferation concern
D:3Chemical/biological concern
D:4Missile technology concern
D:5Arms embargo countries
E:1Embargoed: Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran
E:2Enhanced embargoed: Russia, Belarus

Step 4 — License Exceptions

Reference file: references/license-exceptions.md for complete conditions and restrictions on all exceptions.

Key license exceptions at a glance:

SymbolNameScope
LVSLimited Value ShipmentsLow-value items per ECCN entry
GBSGroup B ShipmentsNS-only controlled items to Country Group B
CIVCivil End-UsersNS-only items for civil end-use to Country Group D:1
APPAdjusted Peak PerformanceComputers to specific country groups
TSRTechnology and Software RestrictionNS-only tech/software to Country Group B
TMPTemporary Imports/ExportsItems exported temporarily, returned to US

GOVGovernment UseUS gov't, cooperating gov'ts, international orgs
TSUTechnology and Software UnrestrictedPublished tech, standards, pre-release software
ENCEncryptionMass-market encryption products/software
BAGBaggagePersonal items in traveler's baggage
AVSAircraft and VesselsExports on aircraft/vessels
ACEAdditional Permissive ReexportsReexports of certain controlled items
GFTGift ParcelsPersonal gifts

Step 5 — End-User and End-Use Controls (Part 744)

Restricted Party Lists

Always screen all parties (buyer, seller, broker, freight forwarder, bank, end-user, intermediate consignee) before every transaction.

ListEffectNo License Exception
Entity List (Supplement 4, Part 744)License required for all items subject to EARGenerally no exceptions available
Denied Persons List (Part 764)Absolute prohibition — no exports to/by these personsAll exceptions barred
Unverified List (Supplement 6, Part 744)Cannot use any license exceptions; must obtain UVL StatementAll exceptions barred
Military End-User (MEU) List (Supplement 7, Part 744)License required for items in Supplement 2, Part 744Most exceptions barred
SDN List (OFAC, not BIS)Full block; not EAR but must screen alongsideN/A
Consolidated Screening List (CSL)

BIS, State, and Treasury lists are consolidated at trade.gov/consolidated-screening-list for single-search screening.

WMD End-Use Prohibitions (§ 744.2–744.6)

No license exception applies when you know or have reason to know the item will be used in:

  • Nuclear weapons development/production (§ 744.2)
  • Missile systems (§ 744.3)
  • Chemical/biological weapons (§ 744.4)
  • Nuclear explosive activities (§ 744.5)
  • Unsafeguarded nuclear activities (§ 744.6)
Show full SKILL.md (709 more words)Show less
Red Flag Indicators (§ 732.6)

BIS publishes "Red Flags" — indicators of suspicious orders. Stop the transaction and conduct due diligence if:

  • Customer is reluctant to provide end-use information
  • Item is incompatible with customer's stated business
  • Payment from unusual third-country account
  • Shipping route is circuitous or through unusual transhipment points
  • Customer declines installation, training, or warranty

Step 6 — Special Topics

Deemed Exports (§ 734.13)

Releasing controlled technology or software to a foreign national in the US is deemed an export to their home country. Applies to:

  • Visual inspection, hands-on access
  • Oral briefings and demonstrations
  • Electronic transmissions

Trigger: A license is required if one would be required for the actual export of that technology/software to the foreign national's country of nationality.

Foreign Direct Product Rule (FDPR) (§ 736.2(b)(3))

Foreign-made products are subject to EAR if they are the direct product of US-origin:

  • Technology or software controlled for NS or CB reasons (General FDPR)
  • Equipment controlled under ECCNs 3B001, 3B002, etc. used to fabricate semiconductors (Entity List FDPR — Huawei expansion 2020, advanced chip controls 2022/2023)
De Minimis Rule (§ 734.4)

Foreign-made items incorporating US-controlled content are subject to EAR when the US content exceeds:

  • 25% of the fair market value — for items going to Country Group D:1 or E (most restricted)
  • 10% — for items designated AT-only or EAR99 going to embargoed countries
US Person Controls (§ 744.6)

US persons — regardless of location — are prohibited from:

  • Supporting foreign nuclear, missile, chemical/biological, or military-intelligence programs designated in § 744.6(c)
  • Providing any support to parties on the Entity List for activities identified in their entry

Step 7 — Licensing (Part 748)

  • Portal: SNAP-R (Simplified Network Application Process Redesign) — snap-r.bis.doc.gov
  • No registration required (unlike ITAR/DDTC)
  • Form BIS-748P — Multipurpose Application Form for export licenses, CCATS, encryption reviews
  • Review timeline: 9 of 10 applications decided within 90 days; interagency referrals possible
  • License conditions: Read carefully; re-export authorizations, end-use statements, and reporting requirements may be attached
  • Advisory Opinions: Informal guidance from BIS on whether a license is required (not binding)

Step 8 — Recordkeeping (Part 762)

  • Retain all export-related records for 5 years from the date of export or reexport
  • Records include: purchase orders, invoices, bills of lading, EEI filings, license applications, license exception documentation, denied party screening records
  • Records must be made available to BIS inspectors on request

Regulatory Status — September 2026 (state where relevant)

Drone/UAV classification changed (final rule, 91 FR 52501, effective August 13, 2026) — apply this decision logic to every UAV question:

  1. Endurance < 3 hours → 9A012.a.1, controlled AT-only (NS2 removed): license-free to most destinations. Software/technology follows: NS removed from 9D001, 9D002, 9D004, 9E001 for sub-3-hour UAVs.
  2. Endurance ≥ 3 hours → 9A012.a.2: NS Column 1 + AT1, plus MT1 if range ≥ 300 km.
  3. Any endurance stays NS1/AT1 if the UAV incorporates controlled 6A003 thermal imagers, 6A005 lasers, or 7A001–7A005 navigation equipment.
  4. Military "specially designed" UAVs not described on the USML now classify in 9A610.a (BIS reversed its 2013 position); less-sensitive parts go to new 9A610.y.33; STA to Country Group A:5 available where the UAV cannot deliver ≥500 kg to ≥300 km.
  5. Military end-use/end-user controls (§744.21) now cover ECCNs 9A012, 9D001, 9D002, 9D004, 9E001 — screen destinations accordingly. The old wind-gust parameter is gone.

Enforcement signal (Aug 2026): BIS settled with Plexon, Inc. — $1.7M fully suspended (5 years, waived on external audit + clean record) for 8 unlicensed exports (~$179K) of neural-recording systems to China's Academy of Military Medical Sciences (Entity-Listed 2021). Lesson: research/medical technology is not exempt from Entity List screening.

AI-chip "diffusion" framework: the Jan 2025 IFR was never formally rescinded in the Federal Register; BIS announced non-enforcement (May 2025) and GAO (B-337935) held that announcement itself a CRA rule not submitted to Congress. Successor policy is country-specific rulemaking (e.g., the UAE rule, 91 FR 43034). Do not advise as if a replacement diffusion framework exists.
