• What is an "export" and "re-export"?

The Essentials of Classification for "Defense Articles", "Technical Data" and "Defense Services": Key Pitfalls and Lessons Learned • Identifying when foreign commercial products and technology can become ITAR-controlled • Considerations for classification of sensitive technologies that are not on the USML

• Integrating commercial and defense technologies

• How original design intent, government funding, specifications, underlying technology, and intended market can affect jurisdiction

II. Technical Data • Defining “technical data” and “export” of technical data under the ITAR

• Recent DDTC guidance on how to control technical data

• Determining whether technical data is in the “public domain” under 120.11
