Which term refers to an approved license, agreement, or exemption under ITAR?

• A. Export Authorization
• B. Extended Visit Authorization
• C. Extracting
• D. Facility

Answer: (A)

Under ITAR, moving defense articles or services across borders requires formal government permission. The term that covers any approved path to export—whether a license, an agreement, or an exemption—is export authorization. This umbrella concept encompasses an approved export license, any authorized agreement, or an applicable exemption that enables the transfer to occur legally. For instance, obtaining a specific export license for a defense article or entering into a distribution agreement that authorizes a transfer are both export authorizations. The other options aren’t ITAR terms for permission to export: extended visit authorization isn’t a recognized ITAR authorization, extracting isn’t relevant, and facility refers to a location, not an authorization.
