Given an ECCN and a destination country, report whether the Commerce Country Chart requires an export licence, and which reasons for control trigger it. Use this when someone is about to ship or transfer a controlled item abroad and needs the licence question answered before it moves. Returns the triggering reasons with the scope text from the Control List entry, because many controls apply to only part of an entry, plus any controls that are not decided by the chart at all. A `false` result means the chart alone does not require a licence; it is not clearance to export, and it says nothing about the Entity List, embargoes, end-use controls, or whether the ECCN is the right one. An entry the chart does not decide returns `indeterminate` with its requirement text instead of a verdict, which is an unanswered question rather than a negative answer. This tool cannot classify an item into an ECCN and will not try. Every verdict carries its own evidence and you should report it rather than the boolean alone. `checked` lists each chart cell that was read and what it held, so a negative answer can be verified against 15 CFR part 738 Supplement No. 1 without trusting this server; `footnotes` carries row conditions this tool does not apply and which can change the answer; `sourceEdition` says which CFR edition the tables came from, and a snapshot older than the current regulation gives a stale answer that still reads as confident.
