CCATS. What does CCATS stand for? CCATS means "Commodity Classification Automated Tracking System". CCATS number is assigned by BIS to products that it has classified against the Export Administration Regulations[EAR]. Software companies provides the CCATS number because some encryption exports require the exporter to make post-shipment reporting to BIS on a bi-annual basis and the CCATS number is amongst one of the mandatory elements required for reporting. It is somewhat like ECCN (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_Control_Classification_Number)


Some companies having CCATS and ECCN for their Products are Microsoft, Redhat, Cisco etc.
