If you don't mind I will answer your question.

ITAR is concerned about technology transfer. A non-compliant verbal statement can be an ITAR violation if it conveys technology that has not been approved for transfer in advance. Applications requiring ITAR compliance require training of ALL personnel with potential contact with foreign nationals. Telephone conversations, documents of any kind, and material of any kind are included. The last thing BI needs is to be on the negative side of the State Department when BI plans to export anything.

Kryron powder for heatsinks may be able to be used for making armor or helmets with ease. When the US ships controlled things or material there has to be control and monitoring to assure that the material is used as purchased. There is also the concern about powder being easily reverse engineered.

According to what has been posted on this board, Kryron helmets are better than what our services have now. DoD and State are not going to permit a foreign power to have something better than what our services have. Compliance with ITAR stops that from happening. Penalties can be ugly. Compliance is not difficult but violations are.
