THE COST OF NON-COMPLIANCE
The Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) maintains a zero-tolerance policy. Whether due to negligence or intent, failing to secure technical data results in severe consequences that go beyond simple fines. Review the statutory penalties below to understand why professional ITAR Compliance Services are mandatory.
$1,000,000+
CIVIL FINES PER VIOLATION
Under the Arms Export Control Act (AECA), civil penalties can exceed $1.2 million per violation (adjusted for inflation) or twice the value of the transaction, whichever is greater. For small to mid-sized manufacturers, a single administrative enforcement action by the DDTC can lead to immediate insolvency. Ignorance of the law is not a valid defense against these crippling financial blows.
20 YEARS
CRIMINAL PENALTIES (PRISON)
ITAR enforcement is not limited to corporate entities; it pierces the corporate veil. Individual directors, compliance officers, and employees can face up to 20 years in federal prison for willful violations. The Department of Justice (DOJ) actively pursues personal liability for individuals who knowingly bypass export controls or falsify data on license applications
DEBARMENT
LOSS OF EXPORT PRIVILEGES
This is the ‘death penalty’ for defense contractors. A statutory debarment effectively ends your ability to hold government contracts. Being placed on the Denied Persons List means you are prohibited from participating in any export-controlled activity, instantly severing your revenue streams from the DoW and prime contractors. Reinstatement can take years and requires invasive external monitoring.
