Import and Export (Strategic Commodities) Regulations

[CAP. 60

G 59

[Subsidiary]

Notes:

(viii) In the case of ground radar, having been in commercial use for a period of less than one year.

1. Nothing in the following shall be construed as permitting the export of specially designed "software" or technology for navigation, direction finding, radar and airborne communication equipment, or technology for specially designed components therefor, except for the minimum "software" and technology for the use (i.e. the installation, operation and maintenance) of the following equipment. This Item does not embargo the following:

(a) Standard commercial airborne equipment listed in sub-item (b)(1)(ii) above needed to equip civil aircraft (see Note 10 to IL 1460) or as normal standard equipment incorporated in civil aircraft being exported for civil commercial use provided, such equipment is in conformity with ICAO standards and assures no function exceeding these resulting from such standards, is not designed to use satellite-broadcasted navigation signals and is not designed to make use of hyperbolic grids at frequencies greater than 3 MHz. (Standard commercial airborne equipment designed to make use of hyperbolic grids at frequencies of less than 3 MHz may be exported if coordinate conversion equipment, which has been in normal civil use for less than one year, or which could not be shipped under the provisions of Item IL 1565, is not included and is not separately supplied. Normal civil equipment released by this paragraph consists of: Marker beacons, ILS, VOR ("OMNI"), Omega, Loran A and B;

(b) Ground and marine equipment listed in sub-item (b)(2) above, for use with airborne navigation equipment using the constant velocity or rectilinear propagation characteristics of electromagnetic waves having a frequency less than 4 x 101 Hz (wavelength 0.75 micro-metre), provided the ground equipment is for use at civil airports or for civil use in association with civil airborne equipment, and:

(1) Is in conformity with ICAO standards and assures no function exceeding those resulting from such standards;

(2) Is not designed to make use of hyperbolic grids at frequencies greater than 3 MHz,

(c) Equipment listed in sub-item (b)(5) above which is restricted to use with TRANSIT satellite systems or other unembargoed systems and which is not also embargoed by sub-item (b)(4) above;

(d) Secondary radar equipment embargoed by sub-item (c) above specially designed for civil air traffic identification and control purposes;

(e) Equipment assemblies for civil marine automatic radar plotting aids or electronic relative motion analyzers designed to achieve the requirements published by the International Maritime Organization in accordance with the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) conventions, provided the designed tracking speeds do not exceed relative values of greater than 150 knots (77.1 metres/second);

(f) Ground radar of the hand-held and automobile-mounted type used for vehicle speed monitoring by police authorities and operating in the frequency band from 10.5 to 10.55 GHz.

Not used.

Not used.

IL 1502

Communication, detection or tracking equipment of a kind using ultra-violet radiation, infrared radiation or ultrasonic waves; and specially designed components and "specially designed software" therefor.

Notes:

1.

2.

This Item is intended to cover infrared or ultra-violet sensing devices not otherwise embargoed by Munitions List Item ML 15 and which contain image intensifiers embargoed by Item IL 1555.

The item is not intended to embargo ultrasonic devices which operate in contact with a controlled material to be inspected, or which are used for industrial cleaning, sorting or materials handling, industrial and civilian intrusion alarm, traffic and industrial movement control and counting systems, medical applications, emulsification, homogenization, or simple educational or entertainment devices.
