Understanding ITAR Compliance and What It Means for Assured Automation Customers

Assured Automation, a trusted supplier of valves and flow control components, proudly maintains ITAR compliance—an important designation that signifies our commitment to national security, regulatory integrity, and customer confidence.

What Is ITAR Compliance?

ITAR, or the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, is a set of U.S. government regulations administered by the Department of State. These rules control the export and import of defense-related articles and services listed on the United States Munitions List (USML). For a valve supplier like Assured Automation, ITAR compliance ensures that our products, technical data, and services are handled in accordance with stringent national security guidelines when used in military or defense applications.

What ITAR Compliance Entails

Achieving and maintaining ITAR compliance means that Assured Automation:

• Registers with the U.S. Department of State’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC)
• Implements strict access controls on technical data
• Ensures only U.S. persons (citizens or authorized permanent residents) have access to ITAR-restricted information
• Maintains comprehensive recordkeeping and reporting procedures
• Undergoes regular audits and internal reviews to ensure ongoing compliance

Why ITAR Compliance Matters
For defense contractors, military organizations, and government agencies, ITAR compliance is non-negotiable. Working with a compliant supplier like Assured Automation removes barriers in procurement, simplifies integration into defense programs, and ensures that regulatory requirements are met without delays or legal risks.

Advantages for All Customers
Even non-military customers benefit from our ITAR-compliant status. The rigorous processes required for compliance reflect a higher level of operational discipline, data security, and product quality. Customers in aerospace, critical infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing can trust that Assured Automation applies the same standards of excellence to every order, regardless of industry.
