DDTC Releases New Version of DS-2032 Registration Form that Must Now be Used by Exporters, Manufacturers and Brokers of Defense Articles
The State Department’s Directorate
of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) has issued a new version of the Statement of Registration form (DS-2032).
Effective immediately, companies registered with DDTC as manufacturers, exporters and brokers of defense articles must use version 4.0 of the DS-2032 form to renew registrations or to obtain a new registration. Prior versions of the form will not be accepted by DDTC after October 25, 2013.
The new DS-2032 form can be submitted
to DDTC electronically or in hard-copy until December 31, 2013. However, starting on January 1, 2014, the DS-2032 must be submitted to DDTC electronically.
The latest version of
the DS-2032 form includes a number of changes from previous versions of the form and makes changes due to the Export Control Reform process, including:
- Allows companies to consolidate their manufacturer, exporter and broker registrations;
- Updates the USML Categories, including adding new USML Category XIX for gas turbine engines;
- Allows for disclosure of intermediate parent and ultimate parent companies;
- Expands the certification requirements.
The updated version of DDTC's DS-2032 form can be
found here.
