IMPORT AND EXPORT (STRATEGIC COMMODITIES) REGULATIONS - SCHEDULE 1
Notes:
1. Terms in "quotations" are defined terms. Refer to 'Definitions
of Terms' annexed to these Lists.
2. Chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. Chemicals of the
same structural formula (including hydrates) are controlled regardless of
name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying whether
a particular chemical or mixture is controlled, irrespective of
nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because
some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures
containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers. (L.N.
65 of 2004)

(1) Shipments with a plutonium content of 1 g or less;
(2) Shipments of 3 "effective grams" or less when contained in a
sensing component in instruments. (L.N. 132 of 2001)
(b) "Previously separated" neptunium-237 in any form;
Note:
1C012(b) does not control shipments with a neptunium-237 content of 1 g or
less.
1C101 Materials and devices for reduced observables such as radar
reflectivity, ultraviolet/infrared signatures and acoustic signatures,
other than those controlled by 1C001, usable in 'missiles' and their
subsystems; (L.N. 95 of 2006)
Notes:
1. 1C101 includes:
(a) Structural materials and coatings specially designed for
reduced radar reflectivity;
(b) Coatings, including paints, specially designed for reduced or
tailored reflectivity or emissivity in the microwave, infra red or ultra
violet regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
2. 1C101 does not include coatings when specially used for the
thermal control of satellites.
Technical Note:
In 1C101, 'missiles' means complete rocket systems and "unmanned aerial
vehicle" systems capable of a range exceeding 300 km. (L.N. 95 of 2006)
1C102 Resaturated pyrolized carbon-carbon materials designed for
space launch vehicles controlled by 9A004 or sounding rockets control
