What are the relevant provisions of the Wassenaar agreement on export control of RF and microwave instruments

Release date:2021-12-28Author source:KinghelmViews:403

What is the Wassenaar agreement?

The Wassenaar agreement on export control of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies, an agreement on export control of cutting-edge technologies and equipment to restrict and suppress the scientific and technological development of non member states, especially China, is dominated and controlled by the United States.

The Wassenaar agreement is also known as the Wassenaar Arrangement mechanism. With the disintegration of the former Soviet Union in 1991, the "Paris Coordinating Committee" (hereinafter referred to as "Batumi") was officially dissolved on April 1, 1994. After the end of the cold war, under the manipulation of the United States, in July 1996, 33 countries dominated by western countries (including Japan, the European Union and Canada, and the European Union has expanded to more than 33 countries) signed the Wassenaar Arrangement, and decided to implement the new control list and information exchange rules from November 1, 1996.

Like Batumi, Waxie also contains two control lists: one is the list of dual-use goods and technologies, covering nine categories: advanced materials, material processing, electronic devices, computers, telecommunications and information security, sensing and lasers, navigation and avionics, ships and maritime equipment, propulsion systems, etc; The other is the list of military products, covering 22 categories of weapons, ammunition, equipment and combat platforms.

The import and export of high-end RF and microwave measuring instruments are controlled by Wassenaar agreement. For the specific control list, see the commercial control list (CCL) issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce.  
 The following contents are the regulations on the control of some high-end RF and microwave measuring instruments selected from the list. Instruments that meet the following conditions must apply for an export license.
