The guide is a valuable resource for developing internal compliance programs to prevent unauthorized transfers of defense and dual-use goods and technology.

 Key US Resources

DDTC and BIS websites are the authoritative sources for ITAR and EAR respectively. Familiarise yourself with the full regulations (ITAR, EAR, USML, CCL, Commerce Country Chart). Leverage their interactive tools, training resources, and online portals (DECCS/SNAP-R) for classification and licensing. Crucially, always screen all parties to a transaction against the Consolidated Screening List to avoid dealing with prohibited entities.
