Embargoed (Sanctioned) & ITAR Proscribed Countries

All exports to embargoed countries are highly regulated and require multi-agency licenses, regardless of the technology. In addition to the embargoed countries, ITAR proscribes additional non-embargoed countries that are prohibited from receiving defense articles or technical data on the International Traffic in-Arms (ITAR) U.S. Munitions List (USML). Exports of “dual-use” items on the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) Commerce Control List (CCL) to ITAR proscribed countries must be determined on a case-by-case basis and be licensed or qualify for an exception excluding standard laptops and mass-market software.
