Purpose of CJ Request is to Determine if Under USML Jurisdiction
The purpose of a commodity jurisdiction (CJ) request is to determine whether an item or service is covered by the U.S. Munitions List (USML) and therefore subject to export controls administered by the U.S. Department of State pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). If after reviewing the USML and other relevant parts of the ITAR, in particular ITAR 120.3 and 120.4, those that are still unsure of the export jurisdiction of an item or service, should request a CJ determination.
Changes to Two Blocks in Version 1.2 Version of Form
DDTC states that one principal change to the DS-4076 includes a change to Block 12 by adding a "none" check box, which will allow applicants to indicate when there is no equivalent U.S. or foreign product. Another change in Block 19 gives the applicant the option of directing DDTC to correspond with the applicant by email, to include notification of the final determination, rather than by means of the U.S. Postal Service.
