ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) covers the export of defense articles. Defense articles are defined by ITAR § 120.3 as any article (item) that is specifically designed, developed, configured, adapted, or modified for a military application. In designating an article as a defense article, the DDTC (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls) evaluates if the article has civil applications and if there exists an equivalent in the civilian sector. Once DDTC designates an item as a defense article it is placed on a list named the U.S. Munitions List (USML).

Some of the products on this website are subject to ITAR, and export is prohibited without authorization or a license issued by the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. By purchasing an ITAR restricted item, the Customer agrees that:
