Destination Control Statement

News & Blog

As a reminder, the stipulated Destination Control Statement is required to be printed on all commercial invoices for shipments of all ITAR and most EAR jurisdiction items. Items classified as EAR99 or exported under license exception BAG or GFT will continue to not require a Destination Control Statement.

The Destination Control Statement for both State/Commerce items is: “These items are controlled by the U.S. Government and authorized for export only to the country of ultimate destination for use by the ultimate consignee or end-user(s) herein identified. They may not be resold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of, to any other country or to any person other than the authorized ultimate consignee or end-user(s), either in their original form or after being incorporated into other items, without first obtaining approval from the U.S. government or as otherwise authorized by U.S. law and regulations”.

Additionally, the exporter must include the ECCNs for any 9×515 or “600 series” item being shipped with the Destination Control Statement. For items under the jurisdiction of the State Department, the country of ultimate destination, end user, and license number/license exemption must also be included with the Destination Control Statement.
