1. Chemicals Controlled by the CCL Chemical and Biological Control Division

2. Reasons for Control  Australia Group (AG) dual-use chemical weapons precursors are controlled for CB (2) reasons;  CWC Schedule 2 and 3 chemicals that are not on the AG list are controlled for CW reasons;  Additional chemicals are controlled for Anti- terrorism (AT) reasons.

3. ECCNS ECCN 1C350: – 54 Chemicals and any mixtures containing 30 wt % or more ; – About 15 Chemicals Account for 80% of Cases.  ECCN 1C355: – CWC Schedule 2 & 3 Chemicals not in 1C350.  ECCN 1C995: – Mixtures containing below threshold AG chemicals; – Medical, Analytical, Diagnostic, and Food Testing Kits; – Implements CWC transfer rules for exports to States not Party to the CWC.  ECCN 1C997: – Explosive fertilizers

4. AG Precursors (ECCN 1C350)  Chemicals that may be used as precursors for toxic chemical agents;  Have been sought or acquired by State or non- State actors to support CW programs;  Typically have large industrial uses;  Dual-use.

5. CWC Chemicals Schedule 2 – Chemicals which pose a significant risk because they posses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity that they could be used as chemical weapons; – Chemicals which may be used as a precursor in the final stage of formation of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2A; – Chemicals which pose a significant risk by virtue of their importance in the production of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2A; – Chemicals which are not produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not prohibited under the CWC.

6. CWC Chemicals (con’t) Schedule 3 – Chemicals that have been produced, stockpiled, or used as chemical weapons; – Chemicals that pose a risk because they posses such lethal or incapacitating toxicity that they could be used as chemical weapons; – Chemicals which pose a risk by virtue of their importance in the production of a chemical listed in Schedule 1 or Schedule 2B; – Chemicals that are produced in large commercial quantities for purposes not prohibited under the CWC.

7. CWC and Anti- Terrorism Controls 1C355 and 1C395 impose license requirements for States not Party to the CWC: Egypt,Taiwan, Angola, North Korea, Somalia, Syria – Israel and Myanamar have not ratified the CWC 1C997 - Ammonium Nitrate – Ammonium nitrate mixtures, including fertilizers and fertilizer blends, containing more than 15% by weight ammonium nitrate. – Also exempts liquid fertilizers containing any amount of ammonium nitrate.

8. Some commonly exported AG chemicals ChemicalUsed In Triethanolamine Cement additives, lubricants Hydrofluoric acid Integrated circuit fabrication Sodium cyanide Mining, electroplating Thiodiglycol Paints, inks Ammonium bifluoride Metal cleaning Sodium fluoride Toothpaste Dimethylamine Agricultural chemicals Sodium sulfide Leather tanning

9. Conclusions When exporting a chemical:  Check the list of chemicals in 1C350, 1C355, 1C395, and1C997  Is your product a mixture containing one of the listed chemicals ?  Check your destination – is it a CWC signatory, does it require a license ?
