ITAR Hardware License Exemptions Explained

ITAR license exemptions authorize certain hardware exports without a license.  Some exporters, however, get a license even when an exemption is available because they prefer the comfort factor of having an export license—and that is certainly understandable because some of the exemptions are complex and confusing, not to mention that some of the restrictions that prohibit you from using an exemption are not even written in the exemption itself. 

If you are hesitant to use an exemption or if you want to learn more about using exemptions, this webinar is right for you.  

After all, the State Department intentionally created the ITAR exemptions for you to use. If you know what you are doing and are thorough in your analysis, using exemptions will enhance your export compliance program because you will be able to export faster and you won’t waste your limited resources on getting unnecessary licenses—plus, using an exemption saves you the effective $250 license application fee! 

Join us and learn the issues to address when you use an exemption as we focus on teaching you about the most widely used hardware exemptions.  Just think:  use an exemption instead of a license only once because of this webinar and the $250 savings will more than pay the cost of the exemption.
