US Export Compliance
ITAR & Export Information
Exporting F-111 Parts to Australia
We know export paperwork can feel like a barrier — it doesn't have to be. F-111 parts exported from the United States may need to meet ITAR or EAR requirements, and we are here to help you work through that process. Reach out to us first and we will sort it out together.
ITAR — International Traffic in Arms Regulations
ITAR applies to defence articles, technical data and services listed on the United States Munitions List. Exporting an ITAR-controlled item generally requires approval from the US Department of State.
EAR — Export Administration Regulations
EAR is administered by the US Department of Commerce and covers commercial, dual-use and many former military items. An EAR-controlled item may have a specific Export Control Classification Number (ECCN), or it may be classified as EAR99. EAR99 does not automatically mean unrestricted — the destination, recipient and intended use must still be checked.
Older F-111 Components
Many older F-111 components — particularly obsolete, unserviceable analogue instruments or parts intended only for historical restoration — may no longer fall under ITAR. However, age, condition and non-airworthy status do not by themselves determine the classification.
We Will Help You Through the Process
We understand that export compliance can feel daunting. The Dump and Burn Project is committed to working alongside US donors and sellers to ensure every transfer is handled correctly. We will provide detailed end-use documentation, written confirmation of the restoration purpose, and any supporting paperwork your compliance professional or freight forwarder requires. If you are unsure where to start, contact us — we will work through it with you step by step.
Before Any Part Is Exported
The US owner or exporter should confirm:
Whether the item is ITAR, EAR-controlled or outside both regimes
Its USML category, ECCN or EAR99 status
Whether a licence, licence exception or export declaration is required
That Australia, the recipient and the restoration end use are permitted
The Dump and Burn Project supports lawful export only. We will actively assist US donors and sellers with end-use documentation and compliance paperwork — contact us and we will work through the requirements with you.
