Certificate'' (OMB No. 1405-0021, Form DSP-83) must be received by DDTC
for the export of significant military equipment and classified
articles, including classified technical data. Pursuant to ITAR Sec.

submitted with any manufacturing license agreement or technical
assistance agreement that relates to significant military equipment or

export, resell or otherwise dispose of the defense articles enumerated
in the application (1) outside the foreign country named as the country
of ultimate destination; or (2) to any other person. With respect to
agreements that involve classified articles or classified technical
data, an authorized representative of the foreign government must also
sign the form.
