Hi, I'd have to agree with Said, FEI got hit with fines for shipping 1000B OCXO's that were diverted to a proscribed country. Most major countries that are "allies" of the USA should be OK though. It's surprising what is controlled, very high speed 'scopes, low inductance high energy capacitors, quite a lot of fibre optic and laser stuff too.

Even (or especially!) if they are of "$0" value prototypes. High-tech items such as this "super-high-tech" oscillator cannot be exported into all countries w/o export license. You have to check the list, and then consider each country individually. Usually most western countries do not present an issue except maybe Israel. Fedex for example will ask for a "harmonized code" from the CCL to be written on the transport paperwork, and will not export it without written declaration by you. The government can be extremely sensitive to this, that's why some companies like MiniCircuits require a declaration of conformance even when buying and shipping their parts in the US! It is for example illegal to just sent schematics to China via email without export license... bye, Said ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list time-nuts@febo.com https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts -------------------------------------------------------- Genetix Limited - Queensway, New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 5NN Registered in England No. 2660050 www.genetix.com Any opinions expressed in this email are those of the individual and not necessarily Genetix Ltd (Genetix) or any company associated with it.
