May I submit a CJ for an item at the same time that I submit a license request to the Department of State for the same item?

Both requests may be processed concurrently. However, DDTC recommends that you not seek a license until after you’ve formally submitted a CJ determination request. Staggering your requests in this manner will permit you to annotate on the license request that a CJ determination action is pending. When noting this, be sure include your CJ number and CJ POC. On the license application, identify the item in question by the USML category paragraph that best describes your item. DO NOT cite Category XXI unless previously authorized by the Director, Office of Defense Trade Controls Policy.
