International Traffic in Arms Regulations: U.S. Munitions List Targeted Revisions; Correction

Key Points

• 1The regulation corrects errors in the previous version of the U.S. Munitions List, which tracks weapons, military technology, and related equipment that need export licenses
• 2Companies that manufacture or trade in weapons and military equipment must follow these rules to know what items require government approval before selling internationally
• 3The changes help the government better distinguish between dangerous military items that need tight control and less sensitive equipment that can be traded more freely
• 4Importers and exporters of military goods must stay informed about which items are on the list, as selling controlled items without permission is a serious federal crime
• 5This affects defense contractors, manufacturers, and international arms dealers who work with U.S. military technology
