Assess whether an item is subject to the EAR
assess_ear_jurisdictionDetermine if an item is subject to the EAR by applying the de minimis rule and Foreign Direct Product rules, covering foreign items with zero U.S. content.
Instructions
Determine whether an item is subject to the EAR before doing any classification or licence analysis. Applies the de minimis U.S.-content rule (15 C.F.R. 734.4) and all thirteen Foreign Direct Product rules (734.9) as independent routes. The FDP rules have NO percentage test: a foreign-produced item with zero U.S. content is subject to the EAR if a rule's product scope and destination or end-user scope are both met. The SME rule at 734.9(k) and the Footnote 5 rule at 734.9(e)(3) are the ones that reach Korean-manufactured semiconductor equipment.

| noDeMinimisFacts | No | Facts bearing on the 734.4(a) categories that have no de minimis level at all. | |
| usSoftwareBundled | No | For software: whether it ships bundled with the item. Separately exported U.S. software is never de minimis eligible. | |
| destinationCountry | Yes | Destination country, matched against Part 740 Supplement No. 1. | |
