The U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations ("ITAR"), 22 C.F.R. Parts 120 - 130, sets forth U.S. Government export and re-export controls on articles specifically designed or modified for military or space applications, and technical data and services related to such articles. Pursuant to the Canadian Exemption at Section 126.5 of the ITAR, eligible U.S. companies can send "build-to-print" and "build/design-to-specification" technical data for the manufacture of certain specified ITAR-controlled articles to Canadian companies that are registered with the Canadian Government Controlled Goods Directorate ("CGD") Program without a license or other written authorization from the U.S. Department of State Directorate of Defense Trade Controls ("DDTC"). U.S. companies must be properly registered with the DDTC for the exemption to apply.

PCM Molds and Patterns is registered with the CGD and is therefore eligible to receive technical data on various defense articles as permitted under the ITAR Canadian Exemption. PCM Molds and Patterns CGD registration number is 23269 and a copy of its registration certificate, valid until 2012/06/07 can be downloaded here. PCM Molds and Patterns registration status can also be confirmed through a search of the CGD registration database, available at http://ssi-iss.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/dmc-cgd/, and by telephoning the CGD information desk at 1-866-368-4646 or via e-mail at ncr.cgd@pwgsc.gc.ca.

PCM Molds and Patterns views compliance with ITAR, U.S. Department of Defense, and Canadian Department of National Defence requirements as a priority.

To further ease its customer's use of the ITAR Canadian Exemption, PCM Molds and Patterns has retained U.S. legal counsel to advise its customers on the Exemption's specific requirements. Alternately, a US. company can apply for an export license or other authorization from the DDTC to export articles, data, and/or services which does not fall under the ITAR Canadian Exemption to PCM Molds and Patterns.
