What US Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. Chapter 39): Statutory Authority for the Control of Defense Article and Defense Service Exports and the United States Munitions List requires
The Arms Export Control Act (AECA), codified at 22 U.S.C. Chapter 39, is the statutory authority for United States controls on the export and import of defense articles and defense services and for foreign military sales, administered by the Department of State through the Directorate of Defense Trade Controls and implemented in the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. Section 2751 declares the policy on the need for international defense cooperation and military export controls. Section 2752 requires coordination of the arms sales and export control functions with the foreign policy of the United States. Section 2753 sets the eligibility conditions a country or international organization must meet to be furnished defense services or defense articles. Section 2754 limits the purposes for which military sales or leases are authorized, including internal security and legitimate self-defense. Section 2778 is the core export control provision: it authorizes the President to designate items as defense articles and defense services constituting the United States Munitions List and to control their import and export, requires any person who engages in the business of manufacturing, exporting, or importing defense articles or services to register, requires a license before any defense article or defense service is exported or imported, and provides criminal penalties for violations. Section 2780 restricts transactions with countries determined to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism. Section 2785 requires end-use monitoring of defense articles and defense services. Section 2794 sets out the definitions. The Act is the foundational statute for United States defense trade controls.
