  The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR)

  Department of State responsibility for the control of the permanent and temporary export and temporary import of defense articles and services is governed primarily by 22 U.S.C. 2778 of the Arms Export Control Act ("AECA"; see the AECA Web page) and Executive Order 11958, as amended. The AECA, among these other requirements and authorities, provides for the promulgation of implementing regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR," 22 CFR 120-130). The ITAR is available from the Government Printing Office (GPO) either as an annual hardcopy publication as part of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) or as an e-document. The annual GPO publication includes all amendments to the ITAR made since the last annual printing.
