Giving technical details to a foreign citizen is considered an export of ITAR or other restricted information and can get you personally locked in federal prison.
- threeseed 3y agoPlease read the link I posted. "Moreover, asylees’ and refugees’ permission to live and work in the United States does not expire, and they stand on equal footing with U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents under export control laws"
- mechhacker 3y agoThere are pathways for it to happen. But you need a team of specialized lawyers, training for all employees, controls, etc. None of this is free.
- hef19898 3y agoITAR is comolex, and a pain in the ass, sure. But it does not, by any means, make it illegal for non-US citizens to get ITAR equipment or information. Because US citizens outside the US also fall under ITAR restrictions. You over simplified that topic a lot. Edit: Thinking of it, getting ITAR stuff to people and places ourside the US is the point of ITAR.
- mechhacker 3y agoI overly simplify it because I need to consult a lawyer any time I deal with it. I do not want to accidentally "export" anything. You need specialized lawyers to deal with this and be compliant, it's not cheap, and I personally default to not chancing it with prison.
- hef19898 3y agoOne of the benefits of a large org, they take care of that. Including any fines for any violations!
- HWR_14 3y agoITAR refers to "us persons" not "us citizens". Which includes asylees and refuges in America.
