Bartlett’s Annotated ITAR (“BITAR”)
Including Latest ECR Changes
How is the “BITAR” different from the official ITAR available for free on the Internet?
The BITAR contains the full text of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, 22 C.F.R. §§ 120-130, but adds a Table of Contents, footnotes, section histories, appendixes containing ITAR amendments, a list of Consent Agreements, government guidance, user aides, and a huge Index. BITARs are sold as soft copies in Microsoft Word, which are downloaded by subscribers every time the regulations are amended, plus occasional updates to add footnotes, cases, agency guidance, and Index entries. We do not sell bound copies of the BITAR, but subscribers who prefer a hard copy may print a copy themselves for inserting in loose-leaf binders.
