The Arms Export Control Act requires that all manufacturers, exporters, temporary importers, and brokers of defense articles as defined on the United States Munitions List (ITAR part 121) and furnishers of defense services to be registered with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) as described in ITAR part 122 (part 129 for brokers).
The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of regulations that govern the export, re-export, and temporary import of certain controlled articles and technical data, as well as the furnishing of defense services. Generally, to be controlled under the ITAR as a defense article, a given component, part, assembly, subassembly, or integrated system must have been specifically designed, developed, configured, adapted, or modified for a military application controlled under the United States Munitions List.
It also restricts sensitive information and technologies to only be shared with US Citizens unless special approval is granted. In summary, this regulation makes sure that anything to do with US proprietary defense secrets are not shared with anyone that our government has deemed not authorized to see or be in possession of, including non-US citizens in the US (“deemed exports”).
In September 2020, Neeco registered with the U.S. State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, and we updated our comprehensive export controls compliance program to include the most current ITAR requirements. This allows us to participate in work that is covered under ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulations) and EAR (Export Administration Regulations).
While Neeco has been manufacturing components and materials for various industries, including those used by defense equipment manufacturers, since the company’s inception in 1994, we took this step in order to support our customers who manufacture defense-related items.
Neeco has long been an industry leader in supply chain management, and we have used our many years of experience to develop processes and procedures that assure ITAR compliance today and well into the future.
We recognize that military equipment designers work on state-of-the-art systems that require advanced materials technology. Neeco’s salespeople and technical support associates have expertise with a wide range of components and sub-components that are used for military hardware.
Military component manufacturers often require that raw materials have lot and batch traceability and/or physical properties testing. Additionally, products used for military applications often have to conform (and be certified) to MIL specs, ASTM specifications and/or SAE specifications. Neeco works with customers, suppliers, and third parties to ensure that specifications are met and documentation is maintained and communicated when required.
By ordering any product(s) from Neecoindustries.com website, you certify that you, or third-party entities at your direction, will not sell, transport, ship or transfer outside the borders of the United States, nor to any foreign person*, any product(s) which are export-restricted by U.S. export-control law and regulation, without proper U.S. Government export authorization, licensing, and documentation.
You must indicate on your order if you intend for an item(s) to be exported. An indication of desire of exportation in no way compels Neeco Industries, Inc. to assist with export in any way, before or after purchase of an item(s). Export, or attempt to export, any controlled or prohibited items outside of the U.S. without complying with U.S. export control regulations can result in severe civil and criminal penalties and/or constitute a federal crime. Neecoindustries.com will not participate in any transaction, directly or indirectly, involving the illegal export or re-export of any prohibited items.
* “Foreign Person” under ITAR § 120.16 means “any natural person who is not a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1101 (a)(20) or who is not a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. § 1324b(a)(3)”, and can mean “any foreign corporation, business association, trust, society, or any other entity or group that is not incorporated or organized to do business in the U.S., as well as international organizations, foreign governments, and any agency or subdivisions of government (e.g. diplomatic missions).”
