US Removes Syria from Defense Trade Restrictions List
The US Department of State announced the lifting of defense export restrictions on Syria, stating that trade will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
The US Department of State announced that, with an amendment to the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), Syria has been removed from the list of countries where licenses for the export and import of defense articles and services are denied. Under the new policy, applications for the transfer of defense articles and services to Syria will be licensed on a case-by-case basis, instead of the comprehensive denial policy previously applied by ITAR. The statement noted that the status change occurred after fulfilling necessary legal requirements, including the revocation of the decision supporting terrorism, and exemptions from certain restrictions under relevant US laws.
