Sending the assembled items BACK to China is where you get in trouble.
I think you may not understand ITAR but I see the point you’re trying to make
- floxy 4y agoProbably thinking of the various DFARS regulations, like you can only use stainless steel and various other metals that were melted in the U.S. or other allied countries for government/military projects. DFARS compliant 1/4-20 stainless fasteners are ~100 times more expensive than what you'd find at your local hardware store.
- comte7092 4y agoI am not going to pretend that I actually know the details of itar, but suffice to say my understanding is that it is in essence an export restriction on military technology. Hence, while you can source certain aspects of the supply chain from abroad, you can’t offshore the whole industry wholesale, which is the main point. Even with the hubbub about TSMC, the chip maneuvering is only about bleeding edge chips, not the chip industry as a whole.
