Complying with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

The U.S. Department of State - Directorate of Defense Trade Controls administers the ITAR regulations which govern the export and temporary import of defense articles and defense services covered by the United States Munitions List (USML). Component products "specifically designed or modified" for inclusion in an end product covered by the munitions list may also fall under these controls. 

Since these regulations are complex and comprehensive, manufacturers supplying the defense industry should not miss this opportunity to hear from ITAR experts from JP Morgan-Chase's Global Trade Compliance Group, the law firm of Dorsey & Whitney, LLP and U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) as they clarify the rules, their coverage and application.
