ITAR

Also called: International Traffic in Arms Regulations · USML

The US regulations administered by the State Department that control the export and temporary import of defence articles and services listed on the US Munitions List, together with related technical data. Exports, re-exports and brokering of ITAR items generally need State Department authorisation.

In practice

ITAR controls follow the item, so foreign products incorporating ITAR components can remain subject to US licensing.
