What Is ITAR?

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations are administered by the U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC).

ITAR governs defense articles, defense services, and related technical data identified on the United States Munitions List, as well as certain exports, temporary imports, reexports, retransfers, and other controlled transactions.

Not every product sold by Quad Defense is necessarily ITAR-controlled. Export classification depends on the specific product, component, technology, technical data, and transaction.

Night Vision & Related Equipment

Night vision products and related equipment may be subject to U.S. export-control restrictions depending on their classification, configuration, technical characteristics, origin, and intended destination or end user.

Some products may fall under ITAR jurisdiction while others may be controlled under the Export Administration Regulations or another regulatory framework.

The absence of an “ITAR” label on a product page should not be interpreted as confirmation that the product is unrestricted for international transfer.

Who May Receive Controlled Items?

Export-control rules can restrict who may receive certain products, technical data, or defense services.

ITAR distinguishes between U.S. persons and foreign persons. The applicable regulatory definitions should be used when determining whether a particular transfer or release requires authorization.

Citizenship alone should not be used as the sole test for every export-control determination.

Authorization May Be Required

Depending on the item and circumstances, U.S. Government authorization may be required before a controlled product or technical data may be:

• Exported from the United States
• Re-exported from one foreign country to another
• Retransferred to a different end user or end use
• Released or provided to a foreign person
• Sold or transferred to another party for a different destination or purpose
• Used to furnish a controlled defense service

Applicable licenses, agreements, exemptions, exceptions, or other authorizations must be determined before the transaction occurs.

Resale Does Not Remove Export Restrictions

Purchasing a product from Quad Defense and later reselling or transferring it does not eliminate applicable U.S. export-control restrictions.

Customers who resell controlled products are responsible for ensuring that subsequent transfers comply with applicable export-control laws, end-user restrictions, destination restrictions, licensing requirements, and other regulatory obligations.

Where appropriate, downstream purchasers should also be informed that the product may be subject to U.S. export-control restrictions.

Technical Information May Also Be Controlled

Export controls may apply not only to physical hardware but also to certain technical information associated with controlled products.

Depending on its content and classification, controlled technical data may include certain detailed information relating to the design, development, production, manufacture, assembly, operation, repair, testing, maintenance, or modification of controlled defense articles.

Quad Defense may therefore limit the distribution of certain technical information or documentation when necessary to comply with applicable export-control obligations.

Purchaser Acknowledgment

By purchasing or receiving export-controlled products, technical data, or services from Quad Defense, the purchaser acknowledges responsibility for complying with applicable U.S. export-control laws and regulations.

Quad Defense May Refuse a Transaction

Quad Defense reserves the right to refuse, cancel, delay, or request additional information regarding any transaction when necessary to evaluate export-control compliance, end use, end user, destination, or other legal requirements.

This may include requesting information sufficient to verify purchaser identity, intended end use, ultimate destination, or other compliance information relevant to the transaction.
