Australian companies managing ITAR controlled technology struggle with several compliance issues that are complicated in nature. There are often 'grey areas' open to U.S. State Department guidance and interpretation of the regulations.

Interpreting the ITAR correctly is particularly important due to the large fines and penalties that can apply for violations of this legislation. ITAR violations can lead to expensive fines and jeopardize commercial contracts.

International Trade Advisors can help with questions such as:

  • Can our dual and third country nationals work on a particular project?
  • What type of approval do I need before engaging in this work/retransfer/export?
  • Can we use the new ITAR exemption for Australia for our ITAR articles?
  • We are unsure if our equipment is ITAR or EAR controlled. How can we find out?
  • We do not know how this article was acquired but now need to transfer it. What are the steps involved?
  • Will I also need a permit from the Australian Government (DEC) for this activity?
  • We inadvertently exported ITAR controlled goods without approval. What should we do?
