Last updated: April 2026 dataMotorized armored fighting vehicles — including tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored personnel carriers — whether or not fitted with weapons, along with their parts, are among the most tightly controlled categories in international trade. Import and export of these articles in the United States is governed by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) administered by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, and virtually all transactions require specific authorization. Parts classified here are equally subject to ITAR controls, and misclassification or unlicensed transfer carries severe criminal and civil penalties.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Armored fighting vehicles and their parts are defense articles controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), administered by the State Department's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Import requires a DDTC import authorization, and any transfer, re-export, or retransfer is subject to strict licensing requirements. The Department of Defense and other agencies may also be involved depending on the specific transaction.
Parts specifically designed or modified for armored fighting vehicles are classified here and treated as defense articles under ITAR, regardless of whether similar components exist in commercial form. A commercial off-the-shelf part that has been specifically adapted or is being procured for use in an armored fighting vehicle may still be subject to ITAR controls. Importers should seek a commodity jurisdiction determination from DDTC when the status of a specific component is uncertain.
