ITAR-Related Obstacles to Exports

摘要

The Arms Exports Control Act (AECT) (1976), implemented by the ITAR, "governs the manufacture, export and temporary import of defense articles, the furnishing of defense services, and brokering activities involving items described on the USML" The latter covers thousands of articles and related services, including civilian products adapted for military use. DDTC's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs is the primary administrator of ITAR, and is also in charge of designating defence articles and services with the concurrence of the Department of Defense (DoD).
