Having completed its U.S. State Department registration review, Hernon Manufacturing has received ITAR Registration

Sanford, FL., August 23, 2012 – Hernon Manufacturing, the innovator in adhesives, sealants and dispensing equipment, has announced that the company has received The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) Registration.

International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a set of United States government regulations that control the export and import of defense-related articles and services on the United States Munitions List (USML). The Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) interprets and enforces ITAR. Its goal is to safeguard U.S. national security and further U.S. foreign policy objectives. All manufacturers, exporters, and brokers of defense articles, related technical data and defense services as defined on the United States Munitions List (Part 121 of the ITAR) are required to register with the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC). Registration is primarily a means to provide the U.S. Government with necessary information on who is involved in certain manufacturing, exporting and brokering activities. Registration does not confer any export rights or privileges, but is a precondition for the issuance of any license or other approval for export. The registration is valid for twelve months.
