(Items currently subject to crime control license requirements generally are either exclusively or primarily used for law enforcement purposes.
The items to which crime control license requirements apply are listed in the Commerce Control List (15 CFR Part 774, Supp. No. 1), while the specific entries on the CCL that describe the items are set forth in 15 CFR 742.7(a)(1)-(4). The latter section also describes, in part through reference to the country chart in 15 CFR Part 738, Supp. No. 1, the destinations to which licenses are required.)
