Classification software
EC Compliance provides revolutionary export control classification software.
Classifying a product means determining the applicable regulations (EU or UK military and dual-use regulations, US EAR or ITAR) and finding the right code or ECCN (Export Control Classification Number) in the relevant control list (for example 6A008 for a dual-use radar). Very often, companies that wish to export a product try self-classification, but using a classification software is a much more reliable approach.
EC Compliance includes a powerful classification software module based on regulatory texts automatically updated by “crawlers”, and on semantic enrichment (product names, industrial jargon, synonyms) which suggests to users the classification corresponding to the characteristics of their products.
The EC Compliance classification module takes into account European and American regulations as well as other countries. It includes an easy to use and reliable search engine. Thanks to a multi-column display, the tool suggests equivalent classifications across regulations and across languages. The classification module also makes it possible to classify intangibles, i.e. data and technology for which transfer by dematerialized means actually constitutes a deemed export.
Equivalence between customs codes and ECCN codes: industrial companies often know the customs codes of their products, but not their classification from an export control perspective. EC Compliance has developed a software component specialized in mapping customs codes to export control classifications. Far more than a simple correspondence table, this intelligent component relies on the semantic analysis of goods described by customs codes to infer the corresponding ECCNs, both under EU Regulation 2021/821 and the US EAR regulations.
Mass Classification
To complement this system, EC Compliance includes an AI-assisted mass classification module, designed to address the operational challenges faced by organizations dealing with large volumes of data. As an extension of the classification software, this module automatically analyzes diverse document sets (technical documents, product descriptions, internal databases) to extract the information required for fast and consistent export control classification.
This mass classification module relies on export-optimized artificial intelligence configured according to the client’s business context. It is capable of interpreting available data and structuring it into actionable outputs directly usable for classification. This approach enables the large-scale replication of expert reasoning while ensuring consistency of results and alignment with the company’s internal frameworks.
A dedicated automation engine allows the simultaneous processing of large volumes of documents, significantly reducing analysis time. Where manual processes can be time-consuming and repetitive, the module industrializes the workflow and accelerates backlog processing while maintaining a high level of reliability.
Designed as a performance driver, this module leverages artificial intelligence to enhance export control expertise by combining automation, contextualization, and regulatory compliance. It integrates seamlessly into existing processes and provides an effective solution for large-scale classification needs, while maintaining standards aligned with industry requirements.
