Dual and Third-Country Nationals: Ensuring Foreign Licensee Requirements to Prevent Diversion of ITAR-Controlled Defense Articles

Why Should You Attend:

US companies who perform defense services are required to control the transfer of controlled technical information. There are several methods to achieve compliance with the ITAR. US companies can find themselves in violation of the ITAR and/or EAR if technical information is transferred to foreign nationals without proper authority or approval. Since unauthorized transfer is considered a major violation and increases the risk associated with employing foreign nationals companies must either submit a list of proposed nationalities in their Technical Assistance Agreements or Manufacturing License Agreements, to whom ITAR or EAR controlled technical information will be transferred, or use the new ITAR 126.18 which allows the employment of any foreign nationality.

Maintaining compliance with approved lists can be time consuming, places the burden of recruiting qualified individuals on the company and in certain countries may be a violation of labor laws when trying to ascertain the correct nationality. This can be especially difficult if the foreign person holds a dual citizenship.

This webinar will provide a roadmap and the knowledge to approach this dilemma and resolve foreign nationality issues prior to employment. It will outline how to expand your approved nationality list by using ITAR 126.18.
