ITAR For FFLs – End Of USML Control For Certain Firearms, Guns, Ammo
About a year ago we reported on the possibility of easing the burden on Federal Firearms License (FFL) holders in terms of the International Trafficking of Arms (ITAR) regulatory requirements. ITAR for FFLs is inherently confusing: while dealers usually aren’t required to obtain an ITAR license, manufacturers can be subject to the regulations, even if they have no plans to export any products. For a small FFL manufacturer who mainly engages in gunsmithing or builds a few guns, a $3,000 fee for not exporting a single item can cut into their bottom line.
