Import Tips

Obtain State Department ITAR approval prior to export/import; all guided missile parts require registration with DDTC

Provide detailed engineering drawings and end-user certificates to verify classification as missile-specific components

Separate valuation required if imported with optics; avoid common pitfall of undervaluing high-precision composite materials
