Non-recognized users can call (613) 996-2387 or email [email protected] and quote your export permit application identification (ref ID) number. Export Controls Division website: www.exportcontrols.gc.ca This Guide, at time of publication, encompasses the list of items enumerated on the Export Control List (ECL) that are controlled for export in accordance with Canadian foreign policy, including Canada’s participation in multilateral export control regimes and bilateral agreements. Unless otherwise specified, the export controls contained in this Guide apply to all destinations except the United States. Canada’s Export Control List can be found at the Department of Justice website at http://canada.justice.gc.ca/. The most recent versions of each multilateral export control regime’s control lists included in the ECL are: Export Control Regimes Latest Controls Incorporated into ECL Wassenaar Arrangement December 2012 Nuclear Suppliers Group November 2012 Missile Technology Control Regime October 2012 Australia Group June 2012 A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls – December 2012 Table of Contents Group 1 – Dual-Use List ........................................................................................................... 1 List – “Explosives”................................................................................................................ 21 Table - Deposition Techniques ............................................................................................... 34 Group 2 – Munitions List ...................................................................................................... 145 Definitions of Terms Used in Groups 1 and 2 ....................................................................... 173 Acronyms and Abbreviations Used in Groups 1 and 2 .......................................................... 192 Group 3 – Nuclear Non-Proliferation List ............................................................................ 196 Group 4 – Nuclear-Related Dual-Use List ............................................................................ 226 Definitions of Terms Used in Groups 3 and 4 ....................................................................... 251 Group 5 – Miscellaneous Goods and Technology ................................................................. 255 Group 6 – Missile Technology Control Regime List ............................................................. 259 Group 6 – Definitions .......................................................................................................... 291 Group 6 – Terminology ....................................................................................................... 296 Units, Constants, Acronyms and Abbreviations Used in Group 6 .......................................... 297 Table of Conversions Used in Group 6 ................................................................................. 298 Group 7 – Chemical and Biological Weapons Non-Proliferation List .................................. 299 Group 7 – Definitions .......................................................................................................... 317 Index ...................................................................................................................................... 319 A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls – December 2012 Group 1 – Dual-Use List - Category 1: Special Materials and Related Equipment GROUP 1 – DUAL-USE LIST Note 1: Terms in “quotations” are defined terms. Refer to ‘Definitions of Terms used in these Lists’ annexed to this List, at the end of Group 2. References to the “Dual-Use List” and “Munitions Lists” within Groups 1 and 2 refer to the “Group 1 – Dual-Use List” and the “Group 2 – Munitions List” respectively. Note 2: In some instances chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers. GENERAL TECHNOLOGY NOTE: The export of “technology” which is “required” for the “development”, “production” or “use” of items controlled in the Dual-Use List is controlled according to the provisions in each Category. This “technology” remains under control even when applicable to any uncontrolled item. Controls do not apply to that “technology” which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of those items which are not controlled or whose export has been authorised. Note: This does not release such “technology” controlled in entries 1-1.E.2.e. and 1-1.E.2.f. and 1-8.E.2.a. and 1-8.E.2.b. Controls do not apply to “technology” “in the public domain”, to “basic scientific research” or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications. GENERAL SOFTWARE NOTE: The Lists do not control “software” which is any of the following: 1. Generally available to the public by being: a. Sold from stock at retail selling points, without restriction, by means of: 1. Over-the-counter transactions; 2. Mail order transactions; 3. Electronic transactions; or 4. Telephone call transactions; and b. Designed for installation by the user without further substantial support by the supplier; or Note: Entry 1 of the General Software Note does not release “software” controlled by Category 5, Part 2 (“Information Security”). 2. “In the public domain”; or 3. The minimum necessary "object code" for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) or repair of those items whose export has been authorised. A Guide to Canada’s Export Controls – December 2012 1 Group 1 – Dual-Use List - Category 1: Special Materials and Related Equipment Note: Entry 3 of the General Software Note does not release "software" controlled by Category 5 - Part 2 ("Information Security").
