Why an Export Compliance Program?
For reasons of national security, the United States Government has asked exporters to provide the following information about their exports:
WHAT is the product?
WHERE in the product going for its final destination?
WHO is the end-user of the final product?
WHY is the product being used for, or for what reason?
IAC exports a variety of products ranging from NIJ Level III (National Institute of Justice standard 0108.01, September 1985) armored passenger vehicles to armoring kits and general automotive parts. The following table should be taken as a general “rule of thumb” but is not a comprehensive list. If in doubt, ASK QUESTIONS and consult the BIS and the Export Compliance Officer.
| IAC Products | License Required |
| Armoring kits. | NO |
| Armored vehicles produced outside of the United States. | NO |
| Armored vehicles sold to US domestic end-users. | NO |
