Significant Military Equipment (SME) in ITAR includes items shown as 'classified' and goods on which part of the USML?

• A. Part 121 preceded by an asterisk
• B. Part 123 without any marking
• C. Part 125 with a question mark
• D. Part 110 with a dash

Answer: (A)

Significant Military Equipment is a subset of the U.S. Munitions List that requires extra licensing and controls. In the USML, SME items are identified in Part 121, and those entries are preceded by an asterisk to mark their SME status. This marking tells exporters that the item carries heightened scrutiny and licensing requirements, beyond what applies to non-SME items. The other parts mentioned don’t use that asterisk marking to designate SME, so they don’t indicate SME in the same way.
