Export Control Guidelines

EMCCD cameras

In January 2009 the UK Government brought into effect export control for EMCCD cameras.  This legislation is part of a world wide agreement called “The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies”, a multilateral export control regime with 40 participating states, including the USA and Japan.

Raptor currently operates an “Open General Export Licences” (OGEL) that allows us simply to record the destination of these controlled products. Countries covered under the OGEL include all members of the EU, the USA, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway and Switzerland.

For any other countries, an export licence will be required.

InGaAs Cameras

Raptor InGaAs cameras may require UK Government authorization for export purposes.

As of 10 September 2015 a technical review of a Commodity Jurisdiction request has been concluded by the requisite agencies of the United State Government. The Department of State has determined that Ninox Vis-SWIR camera: model NX1.7-VS—CL-640 is not subject to the jurisdiction of the Department of State. The Department of Commencer (COC) advices this item has an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) of 6A003.b.4.a. (Non ITAR).

If you have any questions regarding export control of our cameras, please contact sales@raptorphotonics.com
