I’ve been looking all over the web for some clarification, and the ITAR wording is impossible to parse.
Is it legal to send a non-NV EOTech (512) to the UK?
Thanks and Happy Holidays
i found a statement at the first website i checked - eotech’s. i went to the eotech website and looked up the 512. at the bottom of the product page is a statement:
http://www.eotech-inc.com/product.php?id=5
“This Holographic Weapon Sight must be exported from the United States in accordance with Export Administration Regulations ECCN 0A987. Diversion contrary to U.S. law is prohibited. In accordance with U.S. law (Title 15 CFR part 746 and Supplement No. 1 to Part 774; and Title 31 CFR) resale/re-export or transfer of Holographic Weapon Sight Models 552, 551, 512, 511, 4X magnifier and 3X magnifier to certain designated countries is prohibited without prior written consent of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Holographic Weapon Sight Models 553, 557 and 555 are controlled under U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and may not be exported without proper authorization by the U.S. Department of State.”
so, the answer is yes, but only through the proper official channels.
I have seen the EOTech statement- it mentions “certain designated countries” so I wasn’t quite sure which countries they were and whether private sales were allowed.
i’d recommend contacting eotech directly for clarification.
No, if you are a private citizen. NV has nothing to do with it. The UK has a special ITAR fast track to get things in there, but not to civies sorry.
In addition to what was posted you only need to look at ITAR sections 121-123 (IIRC). Bottom line is I wouldn’t do it.
