Defense Trade Controls

Defense Trade Controls are regulations that govern the export and import of defense-related articles, services, and technologies. Established by governments, these controls aim to protect national security and foreign policy interests by ensuring sensitive weapons and military technology are not misused or fall into the wrong hands. This involves a licensing process for companies and individuals seeking to engage in international trade of defense items, ensuring that only authorized entities can access and transfer such materials. Compliance is critical for maintaining national security and upholding international agreements.
