🌐 Unmanned Systems Source is committed to full compliance with all applicable U.S. export control laws and regulations. All orders are reviewed prior to shipment. Customers are responsible for understanding and complying with their own export obligations.
The sale and export of unmanned systems components and electronic products are regulated under U.S. law. Unmanned Systems Source (USS) strictly complies with all applicable export control regulations and requires its customers to do the same. This policy applies to all orders placed through our website, by phone, or via purchase order — domestic and international.
By placing an order with USS, you acknowledge and agree to the terms of this Export Compliance Policy.
EAR — Export Administration Regulations (Bureau of Industry and Security, U.S. Department of Commerce): The EAR controls the export, re-export, and transfer of commercial and dual-use items. Most UAV components, sensors, and electronics in our catalog are subject to the EAR. Items are classified by Export Control Classification Number (ECCN). Items classified as EAR99 are the least controlled, while higher-classification items may require an export license.
ITAR — International Traffic in Arms Regulations (Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, U.S. Department of State): The ITAR controls defense articles and defense services listed on the U.S. Munitions List (USML). Certain UAV components, navigation systems, and related technical data may be ITAR-controlled. Export, re-export, or transfer of ITAR-controlled items requires a license or applicable exemption.
OFAC — Office of Foreign Assets Control (U.S. Department of the Treasury): OFAC administers U.S. economic and trade sanctions. USS does not conduct business with individuals, entities, or countries subject to OFAC sanctions programs, including comprehensive embargoes.
USS screens all customers and orders against U.S. government restricted party lists prior to processing, including the BIS Entity List, Denied Persons List, and Unverified List; the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List; the State Department Debarred Parties List; and the Consolidated Screening List (CSL).
Orders from parties appearing on these lists will not be processed. We reserve the right to cancel and refund any order if a post-sale screening identifies a restricted party match.
By placing an order, you certify and represent that:
Many products in our catalog carry specific ECCN designations. ECCN information is available upon request for any product. Contact sales@unmannedsystemssource.com to request ECCN classification for a specific item before placing an order.
Where an export license is required, USS will apply for the license on behalf of the transaction. License applications may add 30–90 business days to order lead time depending on the product, end use, and destination country. USS cannot guarantee license approval and is not liable for delays or denials resulting from the licensing process. USS will notify the customer promptly if a license is required.
For certain international orders or controlled items, USS may request the following documentation before releasing an order: End-User Certificate (EUC) or End-Use Statement (EUS), Import Certificate or International Import Certificate (IIC), Delivery Verification Certificate (DVC) for applicable items, and company registration or government entity verification. Failure to provide requested documentation will result in the order being placed on hold.
The release of export-controlled technology or source code to a foreign national within the United States is considered a "deemed export" and may require a license. USS does not provide technical data that constitutes a deemed export without prior BIS or DDTC authorization.
If you become aware of an actual or potential violation of U.S. export control laws related to products purchased from USS, notify us immediately at sales@unmannedsystemssource.com. USS will cooperate fully with U.S. government authorities in any investigation of export control violations.
Penalty Notice: Violations of U.S. export control laws carry severe civil and criminal penalties, including fines up to $1,000,000 per violation and imprisonment. USS takes its compliance obligations seriously and will not process orders that would result in export control violations, regardless of the commercial relationship.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Unmanned Systems Source and its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, fines, penalties, or legal costs arising from your violation of U.S. export control laws or your misrepresentation of end-use or end-user information.
