Find the ITAR exemptions that may apply

Tell the finder what you're moving and the situation. It surfaces the license exemptions that may fit — each with its conditions, what it does not cover, recordkeeping/filing duties, and a link to the controlling eCFR text. Exemptions that your inputs rule out are shown with the reason.

Decision support, not a determination. This narrows the field and points you to the regulation — it does not decide eligibility for you. Every ITAR exemption is self-executing and carries detailed conditions you must confirm against the actual section before relying on it; misuse is a violation. For informational purposes only — consult qualified counsel for specific transactions.

1What are you transferring? (required)
2Destination or situation (optional — narrows the list)
3Any of these apply? (rules exemptions in or out)
Always-on rules to remember: an ITAR exemption may only be used to export an EAR item if that item is for use in or with a defense article in the same shipment (§ 120.57). Almost all exemptions are unavailable for § 126.1 proscribed destinations — the narrow carve-outs are § 123.17, parts of § 126.4, § 126.6, and § 126.18(e). Most defense-article shipments need an EEI filing that cites the exemption (§ 123.22). Brokering exemptions (Part 129) are out of scope here.
