SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Defense contractors, exporters, and manufacturers face complex US export control rules under 22 CFR Parts 120-130, where mistakes can trigger civil penalties up to $1.37M per violation or criminal prosecution. This Skill delivers structured ITAR compliance guidance so teams can classify items, register with DDTC, apply for licenses, and handle violations correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Jurisdiction Determination: Applies the USML enumeration and specially designed tests to decide whether an item falls under ITAR or EAR, with Commodity Jurisdiction guidance. - Licensing & Agreements: Walks through DSP-5/73/94 applications, Technical Assistance Agreements, and Manufacturing License Agreements with required clauses and submission steps. - Compliance & Enforcement: Covers deemed export rules for foreign nationals, Technology Control Plans, brokering registration, and the Voluntary Self-Disclosure process with mitigation factors. - Use Case: A manufacturer hiring a foreign national engineer can use this Skill to determine whether a deemed export license or TAA is required before granting access to controlled technical data. ## Quick Start Ask the ITAR skill whether a specific component is ITAR-controlled and what license or agreement is needed to export it.

Frequently Asked Questions about itar

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I determine if an item is ITAR or EAR controlled?

Apply the USML enumeration test in 22 CFR § 121.1 to check if the item is specifically listed, then apply the specially designed test in 22 CFR § 120.41. If neither applies, the item likely falls under EAR; when uncertain, file a Commodity Jurisdiction request with DDTC.

What is the difference between a TAA and an MLA under ITAR?

A Technical Assistance Agreement (22 CFR § 124.1) authorizes exporting technical data or defense services to foreign persons, while a Manufacturing License Agreement (22 CFR § 124.2) authorizes a foreign party to manufacture US defense articles abroad. Both require DDTC approval and specific mandatory clauses.

Does ITAR apply to foreign nationals working inside the US?

Yes, releasing ITAR-controlled technical data to a foreign national inside the US is a deemed export under 22 CFR § 120.50, treated as an export to their home country. Employers must screen citizenship, obtain a TAA or license if required, and maintain a Technology Control Plan.

Who must register with DDTC under ITAR?

Any US person who manufactures defense articles (even without exporting), exports or temporarily imports defense articles, furnishes defense services, or brokers defense articles must register per 22 CFR § 122.1 using form DS-2032. Registration alone does not authorize exports.

What are the penalties for ITAR violations?

Civil penalties reach up to $1,369,000 per violation, and criminal penalties reach $1,000,000 and 20 years imprisonment per violation under 22 USC § 2778. DDTC can also debar companies from ITAR privileges, and voluntary self-disclosure is the strongest mitigating factor.

When is a DSP-5 license required for export?

A DSP-5 is required for any permanent export of USML hardware not covered by an exemption. Applications are submitted via DDTC's D-Trade portal with item descriptions, USML citations, end-user details, and supporting documents like purchase orders and end-user certificates.
