DDTC Updates List of Commodity Jurisdiction Decisions

The State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls recently updated its list of commodity jurisdiction (CJ) determinations, which DDTC issues after receiving requests from industry to determine whether a commodity or service is covered by the U.S. Munitions List. The table includes several new CJ determinations issued in September, including certain subassemblies for tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, which DDTC classified as USML Category VIII(f); an item that allows helicopters to carry sling loads and serves as “a conduit for electric actuation of remote hooks and other electrically operated equipment,” which it classified under the Export Administration Regulations as EAR99; and a digital fuel gauge that it classified as USML Category VIII(h)(1).
