I know there are a few 07s on here. As a manufacturer do you have to pay the $2250 annual ITAR fee to the state department even if you don't export anything?
7.1.3 Registration by firearms manufacturers with the U.S. Department of State.
The State Department has the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of the Arms Export Control Act (AECA) relating to the export of firearms and other defense articles on the U.S. Munitions List.
I interpret this part to say NO. It only applies to export of firearms.
I spoke to an ATF agent in person at the last Tulsa gun show who told me that if you were not importing/exporting, he could see no logical reason to pay it.
But, then again, with the ATF, who knows?
