Digi Export Compliance
Digi products have undergone a review by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), a branch of the U.S. Department of Commerce, which regulates exports through the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). These regulations describe the export restrictions on a wide variety of goods, software and technologies. As a result of this review, Digi products qualify for Mass Market Exception, License Exception ENC (15 CFR Part 740.17) or have no license requirement (NLR) for all non-government sales. They are controlled under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations and Wassenaar Arrangement within the following classifications: Telecommunications/Networking Equipment 5A002, 5D002 and 5A991, Navigation and Avionics 7A994, Electronics 3A001 and Computer Systems 4A994.
All Digi products are subject to anti-terrorism controls which limit where products can be shipped. Items that contain cryptographic features designed to prevent unauthorized access to network management functions and user data and classified under 5A002 and 5D002 are subject to additional distribution and user restrictions and reporting.
The U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security website provides U.S. export guidance at http://www.bis.doc.gov/licensing/exportingbasics.htm
Digi’s restricted encryption solutions and products may be delivered to end-users for a wide variety of end-uses and destinations without having to apply for an individual export license. Digi unrestricted solutions and products may be delivered to most end-users for end-uses worldwide without a licensing requirement. Both Digi’s restricted and unrestricted solutions and products have undergone a one-time review by the U.S. government and qualify for License Exception ENC (15 CFR Part 740.17). Digi’s mass-market solutions and products have also been reviewed by the U.S. government. Mass-market solutions and products normally do not require a license and are exported under the designation “NLR” (No License Required).
Digi solutions and products containing 64-bit or less encryption may be delivered to most end-users worldwide, except to entities or end-users in the following countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan and Syria.
All transactions must undergo a compliance check to ensure that none of the parties to an order are listed on any of the various denied parties and denied entities lists.
