Last updated: August 2026 dataGuided missiles and space launch vehicles are among the most tightly controlled articles in US trade, subject to ITAR Category IV and XV controls that require State Department licensing for virtually any cross-border movement, including temporary exports for testing or display. Commercial space vehicles used for satellite launch services occupy a distinct regulatory space where both ITAR and FAA Office of Commercial Space Transportation licensing apply. Trade data for this category is often incomplete in public databases due to national security reporting exemptions.

Many transactions involving missiles and space vehicles are classified or subject to national security reporting exemptions under the Foreign Trade Regulations. Additionally, ITAR-controlled items may be excluded from standard Census Bureau trade statistics. Analysts should treat published figures as a floor, not a ceiling, for actual trade activity in this category.
The importer (or the US program prime contractor) must obtain a State Department Directorate of Defense Trade Controls import authorization before the article enters the US. The specific license type depends on the nature of the transaction; a Technical Assistance Agreement or Manufacturing License Agreement may also be required if technical data will be exchanged during integration.
