  • United States Munitions List (USML)

    The USML is a list of items designated as defense related by the United States federal government. Items on this list are often referred to as ITAR (International Traffic in Arms Regulation) controlled. Any equipment item on this list must be identified as ITAR controlled in UF’s property records or a departmental list of attractive items. In order to comply with export controls, all access to an item on the USML list must be limited. As soon as an item is identified as being ITAR controlled, Division of Research Compliance and Global Support will be contacted. Division of Research Compliance and Global Support will assist the department in developing a technology control Plan (TCP) that addresses both information and physical security measures.
