ITAR Compliance

ITAR Compliance means that an exporter or manufacturer of specific hardware (defense articles) needs to meet certain requirements and operate in a certain manner consistent with those requirements to be allowed to participate in the supply chain involved with these items.

The basic elements of a compliance program include documentation in formal written procedures, awareness training for applicable personnel in the control processes, maintaining proper records, auditing the process to ensure that it is being implemented, and investigating and reporting suspected violations. The end result is to enable your company to:

• Determine the jurisdiction and classification of products
• Control access to ITAR items and related documentation
• Ensure that business transactions have proper legal authorization before exporting or importing
• Control products throughout the complete life cycle process.
