What does an SCL authorize?

• A. (1) exports from SCL holder to direct SCL consignees (2) reexports from consignees to end-users in other countries (3) direct imports from SCL holder to consignee's end-users (if requested by consignee)
• B. Exports to direct SCL consignees only
• C. Reexports to end-users only
• D. Direct imports to end-users only

Answer: (A)

An SCL authorizes the full flow of controlled items through the supply chain: shipments from the SCL holder to the direct SCL consignees, then any reexports by those consignees to end-users in other countries, and, if requested by the consignee, direct imports from the SCL holder to the end-users’ location. This means the license isn’t limited to a single step; it authorizes both initial export to listed consignees and downstream transfers (reexports) as well as the possibility of directly delivering to end-users abroad when that arrangement is requested and within the license’s scope. Understanding this helps ensure shipments stay within permitted channels and destinations, and that downstream movements are explicitly covered by the SCL.
