On November 15, 2024, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, in conjunction with relevant departments, released the "Export Control List of Dual-Use Items of the People's Republic of China," deciding to arrange the controlled items using a coding system, known as China's ECCN, effective from December 1, 2024.

The Commerce Control List (CCL) regulates and limits the export and re-export of specific U.S. goods, technology, and software using Export Control Classification Numbers (ECCNs). The ten categories under the CCL oversee a wide range of products, including electronics, computers, propulsion systems, and nuclear materials. It's important to note that numerous controlled products may appear harmless at first glance.
