United States (US) International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) 126 18 Rule Changes

The US Department of State (DoS) has issued a final rule amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) to include a new licence exemption for transfers of Defence articles to Dual National or Third Country National (DTCN) employees of foreign end-users. The new rule came into force on 15 August 2011 and eliminates the need to obtain prior approval from DoS for the transfers of unclassified Defence articles (including unclassified technical data) to DTCN employees of foreign business entities, foreign government entities, or international organisations that are approved end-users or consignees (including approved sub-licensees) for such Defence articles.
