600 Series

The 600 series is a list of items maintained by the Department of Commerce. The 600 series items are also known as the Commerce Munitions List. These items have a military application but are considered less sensitive than items on the United States Munitions List. Any equipment item on this list must be identified as a 600 Series item in UF’s property records or a departmental list of Attractive items. As soon as an item is identified as being a 600 series item, the Division of Research Compliance and Global Support will be contacted. Division of Research Compliance and Global Support will assist the department in developing any needed security measures.
