Part 120

Purpose and Definitions

ITAR

Part 120 is the spine of ITAR. Subpart A states who holds the authority and how the USML is designated. Subpart B sets the policies that every license, agreement, and exemption must run through. Subpart C is the controlling vocabulary — defense article, defense service, technical data, export, U.S. person — against which Parts 121–130 are read.

  • Reorganized in 2022 (87 FR 16396, effective Sept. 6, 2022) into three subparts so definitions and general policies sit in one place.
  • A research, licensing, or CJ question almost always starts here, not in the USML itself.
