MOBILE APP DEVELOPER QUESTIONNAIRE
This questionnaire is provided by and for Huawei Mobile Service platform and as such does not represent an
agreement nor contract between the App developer and Huawei Mobile Services and/or any Huawei affiliate. This
questionnaire also does not obviate the App developer’s need to seek legal advice nor any obligations of the App
developer with regards to any legal matter.

For clarification any app that originates in the US is likely to be subject to Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”)
unless it is distributed for free to the public and does not use encryption for confidentiality (or that encryption has
been properly notified to the US government). In addition, foreign developed apps that include US-origin content are
subject to the EAR unless US-origin content accounts for less than 25% of the app’s value.

The following two questions will help to determine US and other export control requirements for upload of your
app(s) to Huawei App Gallery servers (which are expected to be located outside the US) and for downloads of the
app(s) to device owners around the world. Under the US Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”), there are three
basic questions that need to be answered when software is made available to end users (e.g., Huawei device owners):
(1) is the app developed and made available outside the US “subject to the EAR”?; (2) what is the “export control
classification number” assigned to the app?; and (3) what are the country(ies) of destination?

Your answers to those questions must be your own, based on your own information and your own understanding of
export control rules. To learn more about those rules, you can visit the website of the US Bureau of Industry and
Security, which administers US export control rules. This website includes the regulations related to export control,
including EAR Sections 734.2 and 734.3 for “subject to the EAR” and the Commerce Control List for export
classification. This website also includes guidance on what is “subject to the EAR” (such as advisory opinions, FAQs,
and BIS training), and on how to classify items for export purposes (such as an order of review decision tool). For
more information, BIS contact information may be found here.

THIS INFORMATION IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. IT IS THE DEVELOPER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE ACCURATE EXPORT
CONTROL DETERMINATIONS TO SUPPORT BUSINESS COLLABORATION WITH HUAWEI.

2. What is the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) of your App, based on the Commerce Control List
(CCL)? Please see the chart below for summary guidance on possible ECCNs.1
ECCN
Explanation

5D002


ECCN 5D002 controls certain, specified software related to ECCN 5A002
(cryptographic information security), 5A003 (non-cryptographic information
security), or 5A004 (defeating, weakening or bypassing information security).
This includes software that (i) uses encryption for confidentiality of
communications or storage of data and (ii) has not been classified as “mass
market” software, with certain exceptions (including in some cases where
information security is not the primary function of the software, as explained
in Note 3.b to Category 5 - Part 2 of the US Export Administration Regulations
(EAR)).


5D992

ECCN 5D992 controls:

information security software having functions not falling under ECCN
5D002;

software that would fall under ECCN 5D002 but is classified as mass
market encryption software in accordance with §§ 740.17(b) &
740.17(e)(3) of the EAR through appropriate submissions to the US
Bureau of Industry and Security – items that qualify as “mass market”
are explained in Note 3.a to Category 5 - Part 2 of the EAR (see link
above under 5D002).


Other CCL Categories


If the App provides specialized functions that are listed in another category of
the CCL, you should identify the appropriate ECCN. Some CCL categories that
you may wish to consider are Category 4 (Computers) and Category 5, Part 1
(Telecommunications), but note that neither of these categories is applicable
simply because your App is designed for mobile communications devices.


EAR99

If the App falls under US Department of Commerce jurisdiction and is not
listed on the CCL, it is designated as EAR99.


Not Subject to the EAR

This includes Apps with no US-origin content (except that such Apps become
subject to the EAR when brought to the United States). Other items not
subject to the EAR are described in EAR Part 734. Under § 734.3(b)(3), for
example, information and software that are “published” are not subject to
the EAR. For more information regarding “published” software, see EAR §
734.7 (including § 734.7(b), which states that published encryption software
classified under ECCN 5D002 remains subject to the EAR, absent certain
required actions).

App with your legal advisor.
3.
If you are not based in the United States, does your App include US-origin software or technology? If yes,
please provide a brief description of the US software or technology, how it is used in your app, whether it is
open source or not, and what the ECCN is (if you know the source it may be possible to receive the ECCN
from the source).
