§ 126.5

Canadian exemptions

ITAR · Part 126

The structured Canada exemption for specified unclassified defense articles and defense services to Canadian-registered persons (and return to the United States), subject to Supplement No. 1 exclusions, third-country transit limits, registration, and § 126.1. FR 2026-19161 aligns § 126.5(b) and (d) with § 123.10: a DSP-83 Nontransfer and Use Certificate is not required when using this exemption. Retransfer out of Canada still needs DDTC approval. Canada is not a 126.1 country — that does not make every USML article license-free to Canada.

Dated FR — 91 FR 59059 (DSP-83 not required under § 126.5; in force 2026-09-18)

FR Doc. 2026-19161 (91 FR 59059, published and effective Sept. 18, 2026) revises § 126.5(b) to remove the requirement to obtain a DSP-83 Nontransfer and Use Certificate for significant military equipment transferred under the Canadian exemption, aligning with § 123.10. Paragraph (d) is likewise revised: reexport/retransfer requests include the information in § 123.9(c) except that a Nontransfer and Use Certificate is not required. eCFR § 126.5 reflects this rule (version dated 2026-09-18); eCFR is primary, FR is provenance. This is not a license for excluded items in Supplement No. 1. Navigational aid — not legal advice.

Canada is not a 126.1 country. That does not make every USML article license-free to Canada.
FR 2026-19161 (91 FR 59059, eff. Sept. 18, 2026) removes the contradictory DSP-83 requirement from § 126.5(b) and clarifies (d) that a Nontransfer and Use Certificate is not required notwithstanding the § 123.9(c) cross-reference. Aligns with § 123.10.
