§ 120.10

Introduction to the U.S. Munitions List

ITAR · Part 120 · Subpart B

How to read the USML. Asterisks mark Significant Military Equipment (§ 120.36). The “(MT)” parenthetical marks Missile Technology Control Regime-related items — that legend lives here, not in § 121.0. Most categories use enumerated paragraphs, notes, a “specially designed” catch-all, and a paragraph (x) that lets EAR items ride on the same State license as a defense article. Changes to designations are published in the Federal Register.

MT legend: § 120.10, not § 121.0. Asterisk = SME; SME generally pulls in a DSP-83 under § 123.10.
Paragraph (x) does not ITAR-control the EAR item. It lets the EAR item ride on the State license when shipped with the defense article.
Read the notes. Many ECR “moves” to Commerce are implemented as notes, not as deletions of the category heading.
