438. Is the exportation of parts or components for authorized hardware, such as microprocessors, authorized under 31 CFR § 560.540?

Answer

No.  While the exportation of certain accessories and peripherals specified in categories (1) and (5) of the 31 CFR § 560.540 List of Services, Software, and Hardware Incident to Communications is authorized under 31 CFR § 560.540(a)(3), the exportation to Iran of hardware parts or components is not.  Hardware that requires repair or replacement may be repaired or replaced outside Iran pursuant to 31 CFR § 560.540(a)(5) or (a)(7).  Requests for specific licenses to export to Iran parts or components, including replacement parts, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
