Which statement is true about electronic filing forms for unclassified exports?

• A. Permanent exports use DSP-5 (electronic); Temporary exports use DSP-73 (electronic)
• B. Permanent exports use DSP-73 (electronic); Temporary exports use DSP-5 (electronic)
• C. Both use DSP-5
• D. Neither uses electronic forms

Answer: (A)

Electronic filing is the standard method for handling ITAR licenses on unclassified defense articles. When you need a permanent export, you submit the DSP-5 form electronically. For a temporary export, you use the DSP-73 form, also filed electronically. These two forms cover the two main types of transfers—permanent handover of ownership or control, and a temporary export for a defined period with return or specific end-use conditions. Using the electronic system streamlines processing, improves data accuracy, and provides auditable records for both types of licenses.
