ITAR Warning on EBay

[SnoopLoggyDog]

Was looking on EBay at a cheap Red Dot to put on one my .22 rifles. When I clicked on the item, I got a warning that said the following;


[FONT=&amp]It looks like this item is restricted for export under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, ITAR (22 CFR, Parts 120-130) or the Export Administration Regulations, EAR (15 CFR, Parts 730-774). Please ensure you comply with any regulatory licensing and documentation requirements associated with this product. For more information and guidance on these regulations, see the US Department of State website[FONT=&amp], the [/FONT]Bureau of Industry and Security website[FONT=&amp], and our [/FONT]military items policy[FONT=&amp].[/FONT]

It is just a cheap red dot from China with free shipping. How soon are they going to be regulating belly button lint?

Pretty slick that our out of control government is using the ITAR as another way to restrict that which shall not be infringed.

I think it is just boilerplate warning used to cover their ass.

So it is legal to Import it from China? But once the item gets here, it is restricted to only ownership and use in the US?

I've had a complete lack of bellybutton lint ever since I had that umbilical hernia repair.

I don't know, but if I wanted it, that is what I would assume.

I find it tempting to suppose that ITAR stands for "International Treason and Repression".

I'm going to go with this too. From my limited work-related, never used ITAR training, I don't think it applies to a cheap china-made red-dot.

From my again limited training and experience with it , ITAR does not restrict the importation of anything, only export.

I've ordered some knock off taco mag holders from China and a couple of slings from Russia through eBay and never had any problems
