ITAR manufacturing means producing parts or products that are classified as defense articles under ITAR rules.

This doesn’t mean only weapons — it often includes components, materials, software, and technical data used in military or space systems.

Examples of ITAR-controlled items:

Technical drawings or CAD files for defense items

Aerospace components (missile or military aircraft parts)

Military electronics and sensors

Certain satellites and space hardware

Firearm components (regulated parts)
