600 Series & 9x515

What this guide settles

• “600 series” and 9x515 items are EAR items with near-ITAR weight: most .a–.x paragraphs need a licence for every destination except Australia, Canada and the UK — the exact paragraph decides
• .y is narrower, not free: a licence for China, Russia and Venezuela, plus embargoes and Part 744
• Licence exceptions are few: generally GOV only for D:5, none for Hong Kong, a short list elsewhere, and STA under cumulative conditions
• The controls follow the item, differently by family: FDP rule (c) for 9x515, (d) and 0A919 for 600 series; no second incorporation for US-origin “600 series” content
