Port of Chicago Updates Procedures for Imports and Exports of Defense Articles
U.S. Customs and Border Protection at the Port of Chicago today issued an updated Pipeline (09-12) containing detailed and information on the port's procedures for processing imports and exports of defense articles subject to the jurisdiction of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), including hand-carried and cargo shipments.
The pipeline contains useful information on lodging permanent licenses, license decrementation, handling license amendments and the proper procedures for the use of various license exemptions set forth in the ITAR.
While exporters and importers should check with their local ports to verify the local procedures applicable to the import and export of ITAR shipments, the Port of Chicago's Pipeline contains a good summary of the relevant requirements.
