Defense Trade Policy Regarding Vietnam – ITAR Amendment Last Updated: April 11, 2007 Effective April 3, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations are amended with respect to Vietnam at 22 CFR §126.1 to make it United States policy to consider on a case-by-case basis licenses, other approvals, exports, or imports of non-lethal defense articles and defense services destined for or originating in Vietnam. Vietnam remains at 22 CFR §126.1 and other prohibitions will continue to apply, such as the requirement for prior written approval for proposed sales pursuant to 22 CFR §126.1(e). The United States will deny licenses, other approvals, exports or imports of lethal defense articles and services destined for or originating in Vietnam. Under this policy, the export of lethal-end items, components of lethal-end items (unless those components are non-lethal, safety-of-use spare parts for lethal-end items), non-lethal crowd control defense articles and defense services, and night vision devices to end-users with a role in ground security will not be approved. |
