This (YOUR COMPANY NAME) Manual is intended to:
• Provide procedures that enable ITAR compliance

• Provide information that will identify ITAR transactions
• Provide mechanisms that establish recordkeeping controls, training and auditing procedures necessary for effective compliance

Products and technology that require licensing are identified. License requirement decisions can be made and application to appropriate transactions will be applied.
(COMPANY) Organization
Exports involve goods and technology that are covered under Commerce, DOD and FAC.
Commodity jurisdiction requires that decisions be made as to which authority our export falls under. ITAR compliance CD-ROM* pages 79 and 1266 provide information on commodity jurisdiction.
ITAR responsibilities are beyond just commercial export transactions and require additional resources to insure that (COMPANY) remains in compliance.

The ITAR Manager is ____________________________ “identify the manager”
* Customs Compliance Consulting Inc.’s ITAR CD-ROM
** Empowered Official - An empowered official is authorized by a business enterprise to sign and process license applications on behalf of the company. An empowered official understands the provisions of ITAR. This individual has the authority within his/her company to inquire into any aspect of a proposed export and to verify the legality and accuracy of the information submitted for a transaction. An empowered official also has the authority to refuse to sign any license application without retribution from his/her company. This is important because an empowered official is held liable for any violations of ITAR. Also responsible for INTERNAL AUDIT

… can be transmitted via e-mail or during a telephone conversation. Regardless of the method used for the transfer, the transaction is considered an export for export control purposes. An item is also considered an export even if it is leaving the United States temporarily, if it is leaving the United State but is not for sale, (e.g. a gift) or if it is going to a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary in a foreign country. Even a foreign-origin item exported from the United States, transmitted or transshipped through the United States, or being returned from the United States to its foreign country of origin is considered an export. Finally, release of technology or source code subject to the EAR to a foreign national in the United States is "deemed" to be an export to the home country of the foreign national under the EAR. (* Deemed - reference ITAR Module Compliance CD-ROM page 700.) (See next page illustration.)

ITAR - 120.1 General authorities and eligibility.
Section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778) authorizes the President to control the export and import of defense articles and defense services. The statutory authority of the President to promulgate regulations with respect to exports of defense articles and defense services was delegated to the Secretary of State by Executive Order 11958, as amended (42 FR 4311). This subchapter implements that authority. By virtue of delegations of authority by the Secretary of State, these regulations are primarily administered by the Deputy Assistant Secretary for Defense Trade Controls and Managing Director of Defense Trade Controls, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
What are defense items?
Defense article (see ITAR CD-ROM, page 77 Regs 120.6 and 120.9 page 81 also see 120.10 page 82)
(See next page 120.6 illustration.)
120.2 Designation of defense articles and defense services.
The Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778(a) and 2794(7)) provides that the President shall designate the articles and services deemed to be defense articles and defense services for purposes of this subchapter. The items so designated constitute the United States Munitions List and are specified in part 121 of this subchapter. Such designations are made by the Department of State with the concurrence of the Department of Defense. For a determination on whether a particular item is included on the U.S. Munitions List see 120.4(a).
(COMPANY) is registered by reason of ITAR
PART 122 REGISTRATION OF MANUFACTURERS AND EXPORTERS.
122.1 Registration requirements.
a) Any person who engages in the United States in the business of either manufacturing or exporting defense articles or furnishing defense services is required to register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. For the purpose of this subchapter, engaging in the business of manufacturing or exporting defense articles or furnishing defense services requires only one occasion of manufacturing or exporting a defense article or furnishing a defense service. Manufacturers who do not engage in exporting must nevertheless register.
ITAR definition of EXPORT
120.17 Export.
(a) Export means:
(1) Sending or taking a defense article out of the United States in any manner, except by mere travel outside of the United States by a person whose personal knowledge includes technical data; or
(2) Transferring registration, control or ownership to a foreign person of any aircraft, vessel, or satellite covered by the U.S. Munitions List, whether in the United States or abroad; or
(3) Disclosing (including oral or visual disclosure) or transferring in the United States any defense article to an embassy, any agency or subdivision of a foreign government (e.g., diplomatic missions); or
(4) Disclosing (including oral or visual disclosure) or transferring technical data to a foreign person, whether in the United States or abroad; or
(5) Performing a defense service on behalf of, or for the benefit of, a foreign person, whether in the United States or abroad.
(6) A launch vehicle or payload shall not, by reason of the launching of such vehicle, be considered an export for purposes of this subchapter. However, for certain limited purposes (see 126.1) of this subchapter), the controls of this subchapter may apply to any sale, transfer or proposal to sell or transfer defense articles or defense services.

Any article (and associated technical data) that has been specially designed, modified or configured for a military purpose is subject to ITAR jurisdiction.
An item that has been modified for use in an ITAR controlled article may be subject to ITAR.
History of product is important. Records may be efficient, recollection may be lost, time can be a problem as to whether an item is under ITAR control. Modifications to subcontractor may have placed article under ITAR. Placing information on website may open the door to a “deemed export” situation.
Example: - Wire harness. If the wire harness is generic and is not designed or modified specifically for use in a satellite or some other military application, then the wire harness is probably not subject to ITAR.
