Two new entries to expand the definition of activities
The U.S. Department of State today released a final rule amending the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to include two new entries to expand the definition of activities that are not considered exports, reexports, retransfers, or temporary imports.
- Taking U.S. defense articles outside a previously approved country by foreign armed forces or United Nations military personnel during deployments or training exercises is not considered an export, reexport, retransfer, or temporary import, provided there is no change in end-use or end-user, and the items remain in the possession of the authorized personnel.
- Foreign defense articles that enter the United States and are subsequently exported without modification or incorporation of U.S.-origin defense articles are not subject to reexport and retransfer requirements.
