Applying The ITAR Rules And Managing Human Resources: Where Do Things Stand Today?

ITAR issues: a brief reminder

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations, commonly known as the ITAR rules, are a set of U.S. Government regulations passed under the Arms Export Control Act. The ITAR rules are primarily intended to keep technology with military applications out of the hands of countries or individuals posing a threat to U.S. national security. Defence-related technology, which includes both goods and the related technical data, is included in a part of the regulations called the United States Munitions List. For some Canadian companies, especially aerospace and defence companies, compliance with the ITAR rules is a precondition of receiving controlled goods and technologies from a U.S. company.
