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.
