Last updated: April 2026 dataWheeled and tracked military transport, armored personnel carriers, and related ground combat vehicles exported from the United States fall under this end-use category, which is governed by ITAR and the US Munitions List. Foreign Military Sales and direct commercial sales of these platforms both require rigorous end-use monitoring, including post-shipment verification by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) or equivalent authority. The category spans a wide range of platforms — from light tactical vehicles to heavily armored fighting vehicles — each with distinct licensing and technology-transfer considerations. Exporters must also assess re-export and retransfer restrictions that bind the recipient government.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. ITAR-controlled defense articles, including armored vehicles, carry re-export and retransfer restrictions that bind the recipient. The foreign government must obtain US government approval before transferring the equipment to a third party, and end-use monitoring agreements are typically a condition of the original sale.
Under a Foreign Military Sale (FMS), the US government acts as the contracting intermediary between the manufacturer and the foreign government, providing oversight and pricing controls. A direct commercial sale (DCS) is a private contract between the US exporter and the foreign buyer, requiring the exporter to obtain its own DDTC license and manage compliance independently.
