If you have an export from 1 of the 49 ECCN’s (which track Wassenaar Arrangement Sensitive List) and export is to Iceland (only non-Wassenaar member state to which STA authorizes).
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Step-by-Step Is a license required? Does § preclude use of license exceptions generally? Does § (b) preclude use of STA? Does § (c)(1) authorize use of STA? o Are all reasons for control that apply to the transaction in paragraph (c)(1)? o Is the destination in paragraph (c)(1)?
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Step-by-Step Does § (c)(2) authorize use of STA? o Is the only reason for control that applies to the transaction NS? o Is the destination in paragraph (c)(2)? o Is the item for export excluded in an STA paragraph in the license exception section of the applicable ECCN?
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Step-by-Step Provide consignee with ECCN. Obtain consignee statement. Notify consignee that shipment (or specific items within a shipment) is (are) under STA. Keep record showing which shipments belong to each consignee statement.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 1 Virus to a research laboratory in Australia for human vaccine development. ECCN 1C351.a.11. No parties on Entity List, Denied Persons List or List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. No prohibited end uses under part 744.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW 1C351 Human and zoonotic pathogens and “toxins”, as follows (see List of Items Controlled). License Requirements Reason for Control: CB, CW, AT Control(s)Country Chart CB applies to entire entry CB Column 1 CW applies to 1C351.d.5 and d.6 and a license is required for CW reasons for all destinations....a. Viruses, as follows:....a.11.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 1 Commerce Country Chart Reason for Control CB1 CB2 CB3 NP1 NP2 NS1 NS2 MT1 RS1 RS2 FC1 CC1 CC2 CC3 AT1 AT2 Australia X X X X
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 1 License exception restrictions under § do not apply. Marburg virus is a pathogen in Category 1 that is listed in ECCN 1C351.a.11. STA restrictions under §740.20(b)(2)(v) list ECCN 1C351.a. Therefore Marburg virus is excluded by an STA restriction and we need not go to the authorization paragraphs.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 1 Remember that STA is not the only license exception. E.g., License Exception GOV may apply to this transaction if the research laboratory is part of the Australian government.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 2 Telescopic sight to Argentina and Finland for hunting. ECCN 0A987.a. No parties on Entity List, Denied Persons List or List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. No prohibited end uses under part 744.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW 0A987 Optical sighting devices for firearms (including shotguns controlled by 0A984); and parts (See list of items controlled ).

ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 2 License exception restrictions under §740.2 do not apply (e.g. crime control restrictions do not apply to STA-eligible transactions per § 740.2(a)(4)(iv)). STA restrictions under § (b) do not apply. We go to the authorization paragraphs.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 2 Argentina & Finland are both in authorization paragraph (c)(1). CC reason for control is in (c)(1) but FC reason for control is not in that paragraph. STA authorizes this shipment to Finland but not to Argentina.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 3 Ceramic based materials to Israel. ECCN 1C007.a and.c. No parties on Entity List, Denied Persons List or List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons. No prohibited end uses under part 744.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW 1C007 Ceramic base materials, non-“composite” ceramic materials, ceramic-“matrix” “composite” materials and precursor materials, as follows (see List of Items Controlled). License Requirements Reason for Control: NS, MT, AT Control(s)Country Chart NS applies to entire entry NS Column 2 MT applies to items MT Column 1 in 1C007.d and.f... AT applies to entire entry AT Column 1 License Exceptions... STA: License Exception STA may not be used to ship any item in 1C007.c or d to any of the eight destinations listed in § (c)(2) of the EAR.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 3 Commerce Country Chart Reason for Control CB1 CB2 CB3 NP1 NP2 NS1 NS2 MT1 RS1 RS2 FC1 CC1 CC2 CC3 AT1 AT2 Israel X X X X X X X X X X X X
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 3 License exception restrictions under §740.2 do not apply. STA restrictions under § (b) do not apply.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 3 Israel is not in § (c)(1) but is in (c)(2). NS is the only reason for control that applies to this export.
ATTORNEYS AT LAW License Exception STA Example 3 ECCN 1C007 License Exception STA paragraph reads STA: License Exception STA may not be used to ship any item in 1C007.c or.d to any of the eight destinations listed in (c)(2). Therefore the 1C007.a item is eligible for STA to Israel and the 1C007.c item is not eligible for STA to Israel.
