Listed items/technologies refer to those controlled under PRC Export Control Law, Cryptography Law and related regulations. Regardless of whether HS codes are specified, all catalog-listed items/technologies require dual-use import/export licenses. Where discrepancies exist between catalog descriptions and legal provisions, the latter prevail.
