or transfers of defense articles or defense services in return for a 
fee, commission, or other consideration.
    (b) Brokering activities means acting as a broker as defined in 
Sec. 129.2(a), and includes the financing, transportation, freight 
forwarding, or taking of any other action that facilitates the 
manufacture, export, or import of a defense article or defense service, 
irrespective of its origin. For example, this includes, but is not 
limited to, activities by U.S. persons who are located inside or outside 
of the United States or foreign persons subject to U.S. jurisdiction 
involving defense articles or defense services of U.S. or foreign origin 
which are located inside or outside of the United States. But, this does 
not include activities by U.S. persons that are limited exclusively to 
U.S. domestic sales or transfers (e.g., not for export or re-transfer in 
the United States or a foreign person).
    (c) The term ``foreign defense article or defense service'' includes 
any non-United States defense article or defense service of a nature 
described on the United States Munitions List regardless of whether such 
article or service is of United States origin or whether such article or 
service contains United States origin components.
