Plain-English explainer available: State Department Issues Correction to September 2026 ITAR Amendments on Denial Policies and Ally List
On September 18, 2026, the Department of State revised the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to clarify certain policy-of-denial provisions, update country policies for Ethiopia and Somalia, add Saudi Arabia and Peru to the list of major non-NATO allies, and make other miscellaneous corrections. That document included incorrect amendatory instructions resulting in the inadvertent removal of regulatory text. This document corrects the final regulations.
Action: Correcting amendments.
