What is an ECCN?
An ECCN, or Export Control Classification Number, is a five-character alphanumeric code used by the U.S. Department of Commerce to identify items—including technology, software, and hardware—that are subject to export controls under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). ECCNs help determine whether an export license is needed to ship an item to a specific country or end user.

What is a Tariff or Schedule B code?
A tariff code is a unique identifier used to classify traded products for customs purposes. It is part of the Harmonized System (HS), which is an internationally standardized system. Each product is assigned a specific code based on its characteristics, such as composition, function, and usage. This system helps customs authorities around the world to identify products, assess duties and taxes, and gather trade statistics.
A Schedule B code is a classification system used by the United States Census Bureau to categorize exported goods. It is based on the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) and consists of 4 to 6-digit headings and subheadings. The primary purpose of the Schedule B code is to assist the U.S. Census Bureau in tracking the number of exports by country, quantity, and value in U.S. dollars. This data is essential for maintaining accurate trade statistics and ensuring compliance with export regulations.
