Includes the U.S. government export controls that companies need to abide by when exporting to this country

Most electronic equipment and products can enter Kosovo without a U.S. export license.  However, U.S. businesses are strongly advised to obtain export licenses from the Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) or the Department of State’s Bureau of Verification, Compliance, and Implementation (VCI), depending on the product.  BIS and VCI coordinate the licensing process with each other, as well as with the Department of Defense.

If a U.S. firm has a product that may require an export license, the company must obtain the export commodity control number (ECCN) from the manufacturer.  The U.S. exporter can also obtain the ECCN by filling out the BIS-748 Multipurpose Form.

To order forms, you may submit a request by fax at (202) 219-9182 or call our Export Counseling Division at (202) 482-4811 or from the following link: Bureau of Industry and Security: Forms and Documents. 

More detailed information on export controls can be obtained from the U.S. Department of Commerce, Export Controls – Bureau of Industry and Security at: Bureau of Industry and Security: Export Control Classification Number (ECCN).
