“There is an area of regulation that is of vital importance to
government contracting firms – ITAR, or the International Traffic
In Arms Regulations - are State Department arms controls that
regulate this $65B part of the U.S. defense industry
(yearly). Companies regulated under ITAR are subject to a
number of broad requirements including registration
requirements, restrictions on transfer of regulated software and
technical data, restrictions on the performance of defense
services for foreign parties, the requirement to obtain export
licenses and recordkeeping requirements. Since violations can
result in criminal liability for the company, including
imprisonment for the company’s owners and employees, it is
imperative for government contracting firms to have a clear
understanding of this important area of the law.” 1
