New ContributorFPGA A5ED013AB23AE2V Security Category
Hi, Altera. One FPGA, "A5ED013AB23AE2V," is under ECCN 5A002. But based on the BIS export policy, need to know further security code if it should be in the “740.17.b.1”, “740.17.b.2” or “740.17.b.3”?

I can confirm the trade compliance identifiers we have on file for the A5ED013AB23AE2V, but I need to be straightforward about the limits of what I can tell you here.
What the ordering database shows:
The A5ED013AB23AE2V carries ECCN 5A002, CCATS Z1827501, and US HTS 8542390070. https://www.altera.com/products/fpga/agilex/5/e-series/013a-b23a/A5ED013AB23AE2V
On the 740.17(b) sub-paragraph question:
The specific determination of whether a 5A002-classified item falls under EAR License Exception ENC 740.17(b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3) is a legal/regulatory classification that depends on a detailed technical review of the device's cryptographic capabilities against the BIS criteria — it is not a value that appears in Altera's product ordering database or device documentation. The CCATS number (Z1827501) is the key artifact here: it is the result of a BIS Commodity Classification review, and the sub-paragraph determination is embedded in that CCATS record held by BIS, not by Altera.
