Export Compliance

Nortrane is a United States based defense procurement, strategic sourcing, and market access company. This page sets out how export control considerations bear on our work and on engagement with this website. It is a statement of approach. It is not legal advice, it is not a compliance determination, and it should not be relied on in place of guidance from qualified export control counsel.

Nortrane is committed to full compliance with United States export control laws and regulations, and we advise our clients to uphold the same standard in every engagement.

Regulatory Framework

Our work is conducted with awareness of and in accordance with the principal United States export control regimes, including:

• The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120 through 130, administered by the U.S. Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls.
• The Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730 through 774, administered by the U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security.
• Economic sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control.

Controlled Technical Data

Nortrane does not publish, transmit, or make available any ITAR-controlled or EAR-controlled technical data through this website or through any public channel. Information presented here is general in nature and is intended for business and informational purposes only. It does not constitute technical data, a defense service, or an export as those terms are defined under United States export control law.

Visitors should not transmit classified information, controlled technical data, drawings, specifications carrying distribution restrictions, or any material subject to export control through this website, through its forms, or through unprotected electronic mail. Where an engagement requires the exchange of protected information, Nortrane will establish an appropriate channel before any such exchange takes place.

Client Engagements

Where an engagement involves controlled technical data or defense articles, Nortrane handles that information in accordance with applicable export control requirements and only with parties authorized to receive it. Nortrane does not broker, sell, or export defense articles or defense services outside the requirements of United States law, and does not facilitate transactions that would require licensing or registration without the appropriate authorizations in place.

Transaction Pathways

International defense and aerospace transactions proceed through different pathways depending on the item, the parties, the end use, and the end user. Direct commercial arrangements, government to government arrangements, and other structures each carry their own authorization, licensing, and approval requirements, and the appropriate pathway for a given transaction is determined by the facts of that transaction rather than by preference.

Nortrane does not represent that any transaction can proceed through a particular pathway, that any pathway is available for a given item or end user, or that any structure removes or reduces licensing, authorization, or approval requirements that would otherwise apply. Pathway and licensing determinations are made by the parties responsible for them, in consultation with qualified export control counsel and, where applicable, with the relevant United States government authorities.

Sanctions and Restricted Parties

Nortrane conducts its engagements with regard to United States sanctions programs administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and to the restricted party lists maintained by United States government agencies, including those administered by the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of the Treasury.

Nortrane does not knowingly engage with parties subject to applicable sanctions or restrictions, and reserves the right to decline or discontinue any engagement where sanctions, restricted party, end use, or end user considerations make it inappropriate to proceed. Screening obligations applicable to a specific transaction rest with the parties to that transaction and should be addressed with qualified counsel.

International Clients

Nortrane provides advisory and commercial support to qualified international organizations seeking to engage with the United States defense and aerospace market. All such engagements are structured to comply with applicable ITAR, EAR, and OFAC requirements, including restrictions on the release of controlled information to foreign persons.

Nortrane observes the requirements applicable to the release of controlled information to foreign persons, including in the context of its own personnel and internal handling. Where an engagement involves information subject to such restrictions, handling is arranged accordingly before the information is received.

Professional Guidance and Review

The information on this page is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. Export control compliance is a complex legal area with serious consequences for violations. Nortrane provides strategic advisory and commercial context on how export control requirements affect defense procurement and supply chain decisions. All specific export control determinations, including classification, licensing, jurisdiction, and eligibility, must be made in consultation with qualified export control legal counsel.

Export control and sanctions requirements change. This statement reflects Nortrane’s approach as of August 2026 and is reviewed periodically.
