Dear Wireshark Team,

I am writing on behalf of Vattenfall. We are conducting an internal trade compliance review of our software asset register to ensure strict alignment with both the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and the EU Dual-Use Regulation (2021/821).

According to your public documentation, the Wireshark network protocol analyzer falls under U.S. ECCN 5D002 and qualifies for License Exemption TSU under Section 734.3(b)(3) of the EAR.

Could you please formally confirm this classification for our compliance tracking records?

Additionally, as we are an EU-based entity, please explicitly confirm whether the software is considered not listed or decontrolled under Regulation (EU) 2021/821 Annex I due to the Cryptography Note (Category 5 Part 2 Note 3) and the Public Domain / General Software Note (GSN) exclusions.

Thank you for your time, your dedication to the open-source community, and your assistance with our regulatory matrix.

 

 

Kind Regards:

Jamal Ahmed
