In an ITAR license application for a permanent export, which details must be named for foreign parties?

• A. End-user, consignee, and intermediate consignee (if any)
• B. End-user only
• C. Consignee only
• D. Intermediate consignee only

Answer: (A)

In an ITAR permanent export license, you must disclose who will ultimately use and receive the defense article, and any parties who will handle it along the way. Naming the end-user identifies the actual entity that will use the item. Naming the consignee identifies who is officially listed to receive the item at delivery. If the shipment will pass through an additional foreign party before reaching the end-user, you must name that intermediate consignee as well. This complete chain-of-custody information lets the licensing authority verify end-use, ensure the recipients are eligible, and perform necessary screening against restricted parties and destinations. If there isn’t an intermediate step, you still provide the end-user and the consignee; if there is, include the intermediate consignee.
