These regulations govern the export, reexport, transfer, and handling of certain U.S.-origin products, technology, and technical data in order to protect national security and support U.S. foreign policy objectives.

What Is Considered an Export
For export control purposes, an “export” includes, but is not limited to:
Shipping or transporting a controlled item outside of the United States
Hand carrying a controlled item outside of the United States while traveling
Emailing, messaging, or otherwise transmitting controlled technical data to a foreign person
Uploading or downloading controlled data to or from servers that are accessible outside of the United States
Allowing a foreign person within the United States to access controlled items, software, or technical data, which is considered a deemed export
Temporary movement of controlled items outside of the United States, even when not intended for sale, may still require export authorization.
To ensure compliance with ITAR and EAR regulations, Night Vision Systems may require customers to complete an ITAR and Export Compliance Form for applicable orders. This documentation may be used to verify:
End user identity
Intended end use
Acknowledgment of export control responsibilities
Orders subject to export controls will not ship until all required information and documentation have been received and verified. Failure to complete required compliance documentation may result in order cancellation and may be subject to a cancellation fee.
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)
ITAR is administered by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls. ITAR regulates the export, reexport, temporary import, and transfer of defense articles, defense services, and related technical data.
Items specifically designed, developed, configured, or modified for military application and listed on the United States Munitions List generally fall under ITAR jurisdiction and may require an export license prior to export or transfer.
Export Administration Regulations (EAR)
EAR is administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security. EAR controls dual use items that have both commercial and potential military applications, as well as certain optical, electronic, imaging, and support components not listed on the United States Munitions List.
Depending on the item’s export classification, destination, and end use, an export license may or may not be required.
