Exporting LAWS for ACCES ECCN: 3A611.a

As of 12/31/2014 ACCES has transitioned from ITAR to The Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) who now controls all ACCES cable items listed on the Controlled Commodities List (CCL). It is imperative that all requests for ACCES traveling overseas are issued a license for export through the SNAP-R export license application process. Westone will submit the application with a $70.00 USD Admin Fee and request an End User Statement or, Letter of Intent from all foreign parties unless other provisions have been agreed upon by both parties. The license process can take up to 6 weeks for approval. We will do all we can to expedite and frequently check the license status for you.
