ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) is promulgated pursuant to the Arms Export Control Act (22 USC sec. 2751). The regulations are programmed to restrict and control the import and export of defense and military-related items, technologies, and services. Any item or service subject to the regulations must be included on the United States Munitions List (USML), compiled, and maintained by the State Department which is responsible for the administration of ITAR.
ITAR is implemented by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Items listed on the USML may be shared only with a US person. Any deal involving a non-US person requires either authorization or an exemption from the DDTC.
