Calm Down Jim.
For a start YIG oscillators in this frequency range are not controlled items.
For another, this is not a prohibited country in fact a partner in the WAT.
The YIG and mixer ( actually a level control) came out of an old HP86230, rather vintage stuff which hardly constitutes critical technology.
Infact my old and battered 492A, at 23 GHz, would constitute a higher tech product.
My country of residence should have been visible from my profile. If it is not public, I will do so now.
What I meant by bypassing customs was that I did not have to pay any import duty as I bought it along in my baggage; vs., not have it mailed.
And to allay your worry, as a matter of fact I do, and did in this case, always check the product category with the export control beureau beforehand. I have a shackfull of stuff which I bought along from US, all carefully whetted beforehand.
Suggest you look at http : // www dot bis dot doc dot gov for details.
Apart from that, is there any way you can help? I do really need this info as I have a bunch of college kids waiting on me to help them out.

This is an important question, because if we provide any information or assistance, it may constitute a crime on our respective homelands. ?In fact, our mere knowledge that you smuggled out what may be a controlled technology may constitute a crime if we don't report it ... at least for Americans, where this particular instance ?technology smuggling apparently began.

Subject: [TekScopes] HP Agilent YIG 5086-7096 Mixer 5086-7059
Hi everybody,
A group of my students who are working on a broa band swept oscillator purchased a YIG oscillator on my advice. (Ebay)
I am unable to find the pinout of the YIG. It cannot be used. The unit is cosmetically sound and probably ( I hope) working
Its part number is 5086-7096.? When purchased, it came attached by a hard coax to, what is stated on the label, to be a mixer with part number 5086-7059.
All my search has to date yeilded no result. Could somebody help, please.
This is really important as the students have no access to any option. They cannot import something else as I collected it from the USA myself, by passing import regulations etc.
I will be extremely thankful for any information leading to its successful use. Also the mixer assembly which is probably useful too.
Thank you for the help.
