Last updated: April 2026 dataExports of complete military aircraft are among the most tightly controlled transactions in US foreign trade, governed by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) administered by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC), and in many cases also subject to Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program requirements. A State Department export license or FMS Letter of Offer and Acceptance is required before any complete military aircraft can be exported, regardless of destination. End-use monitoring agreements and post-shipment verification requirements are standard conditions attached to these authorizations.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Complete military aircraft are controlled under the US Munitions List (USML), Category VIII, administered by the State Department under ITAR. Exporters must obtain a State Department export license or conduct the transaction through the Foreign Military Sales program. Unauthorized export is a federal criminal offense under the Arms Export Control Act.
Recipients of US military aircraft are typically subject to end-use monitoring under the Blue Lantern program, which may include physical verification visits by US Embassy personnel. Re-transfer to third parties requires prior US government approval, and end-use certificates must be maintained by the recipient government or entity.
