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
