Defense Trade Controls

DTC (formerly: the Office of Munitions Control, OMC) at State administers
licenses for the export of defense articles and services including arms,
ammunition, and implements of war. These items are listed in the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the U.S. Munitions
List. DTC is involved in the commodity jurisdiction (CJ) process. The CJ
process is used to determine whether a particular item should be
transferred to another control list (primarily, whether an item may be
subject to the ITAR or considered either dual-use and subject to the
Commodity Control List).
