Products & Policies | Special Initiatives Transportation Security Exports Program (T-SEP) The international trading system is critical to U.S. economic and national security.

Other limitations may apply in cases where the buyer is determined to be a security force (i.e., a law enforcement agency such as the national or municipal police, or an entity operating under the authority of the military or defense ministry).
