ITAR-Free

What this guide settles

• ITAR-free is a seller’s claim, not a regulatory status: no US agency defines or certifies it
• One ITAR part at any level is enough — the ITAR has no de minimis rule
• Lineage counts: technical data, defense services and agreements behind the design, not only parts inside it
• A supplier’s “EAR99” is not proof of “not ITAR”: verify high-risk lines and word the claim narrowly

What you get

• The guide: explanations, method, conditions and limits
• Worked examples: model claim wording, a commented real case and ten pitfalls
• Tools printed in the guide: four templates and a readiness check
• Sources with section references and their verification date
• Revisions included for 12 months

Printed tools: T1 · Claim scope sheet · T2 · Product map and line screening · T3 · High-risk line verification · T4 · Claim record and change log · Readiness check

• National and EU military and dual-use controls, and sanctions
• Contract clauses and warranties on ITAR-free status, which need legal review

Assumed knowledge. Running an ITAR jurisdiction analysis, building a classification file, and knowing who holds the bill of materials, the software inventory and the design history.
