Export Compliance

The United States of America strictly regulates thermal imagers.  Exporting thermal imagers from the US requires that the client supplies an Exportation End-User statement. This statement is used to identify the customer and the end-user of the product.  Before we can authorize any transactions and purchases, we carefully review and comply with US export laws.

Exporting thermal cameras, infrared cameras, or infrared sensors to certain countries may be restricted by the United States Government’s thermal camera export restrictions and many fall under International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). All ITAR items are designated by the U.S. Department of State. Some cameras fall under a specific ECCN Codes or an Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). ECCN items are governed by the U.S. Department of Commerce “Bureau of Industry and Security.”

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR restrictions) details the regulations governing the export of defense related materials and technologies. The U.S. Munitions List (USML) categorizes goods and technologies governed by the ITAR.
