General Export Overview
Cisco's restricted encryption solutions
and products may be delivered to a wide
variety of end users and destinations without
having to apply for an individual export
license. Cisco's unrestricted solutions and
products may be delivered to most end users
worldwide without a licensing requirement.
Both Cisco's restricted and unrestricted
solutions and products have undergone a
one-time review by the U.S. government and
qualify for License Exception ENC (15 CFR
Part 740.17). Cisco's mass market
solutions and products have also been reviewed
by the U.S. government. Mass market solutions and
products normally do not require a license and
are exported under the designation "NLR"
(No License Required).
Cisco solutions and products containing 64-bit or
less encryption may be delivered to most end users
worldwide, except to entities or end users in the
following countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea,
Sudan, and Syria.
All transactions must undergo a compliance check
to ensure that none of the parties to an order
are listed on the U.S. Bureau of Industry and
Security's Entity List.
