What is the timescale involved?
Isn't it the responsibility of the Subscriber to flow down the information?
Is ITAR / EAR required if the OEM designing the part goes through several processing steps which cross the international border but eventually the part ends up at a US-based OEM?
We make parts for US and non-US companies for military and non-military applications. All parts should be ITAR /EAR - what license and controls are required?
How does PRI expect to get the information on what is being audited so it can be put on a TAA? Work that is being audited is typically not received until 1 -2 days prior to the audit, or even during the audit.
It sounds like suppliers will need to supply a lot of part numbers to PRI before an audit to get a license. How are we supposed to send a list of all possible partnumbers to PRI? What information will be needed?
We are a test laboratory - at any given time, we may have material that is ITAR / EAR. During any Nadcap audit, material may come down for testing, or not. How should we answer the four questions - based on present information, or guess the future?
PRI has asked for a great deal of information to secure licenses for the PRI audit. I have a large number of audits and a large number of parts which need to be reviewed and I do not have the time to complete this task. This information should be stated on the PO. As a supplier, I do not agree that the responsibility for getting this information is mine.
We are a Canadian supplier and process parts for the military (US). We have a license from "Controlled Goods Registration" from the Canadian government. Do we need any other license?
