§ 120.36

Significant military equipment

ITAR · Part 120 · Subpart C

Articles for which special export controls are warranted because of their capacity for substantial military utility or capability. SME is identified with an asterisk in the USML. Exports of SME generally require a DSP-83 nontransfer and use certificate under § 123.10, and congressional notification thresholds often key off SME/MDE status.

  • Asterisked USML entries = SME. The asterisk is easy to miss and expensive to miss.
  • Not all SME is Major Defense Equipment; MDE is a value-and-SME subset defined in § 120.37.
