My company manufacturers some military spec electronics (Mil spec 883-B). Products can be used for either Military or Commercial (Dual-use). If not “specifically designed or modified” for military applications, only assembled to military spec, would the commodities be subject to ITAR?
Do you have to send the SED to ODTC when using exemption 22CFR 123.4(a)(1)? If so, does the SED need to be signed by customs or do you just send a copy of what was sent with the shipment? I see the requirements for customs, but I do not see the requirement for ODTC. In […]
