TAMPA, FL, January 27, 2023 - Microchip USA, a premium electronic component independent distributor based in Tampa, Florida, has officially become an International Traffic in Arms Regulations registered exporter with the Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (DTCC).

The Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance, part of the U.S. Department of State, is responsible for enforcing U.S. export controls on defense articles and services. Being a registered exporter with the DTCC allows Microchip USA to legally export defense articles and services to foreign countries, ensuring compliance with U.S. export regulations. The International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) is a legal structure in the United States that restricts and controls the export of defense and military-related technologies in order to protect U.S. national security and further foreign policy objectives.

Our team is proud to become an ITAR registered exporter with the DTCC and look forward to assisting the DTCC with keeping defense-related board-level electronics in the right hands. We believe that military-grade components should be used to support American and ally defense operations and are excited for new opportunities to collaborate with the defense industry.

This registration brings several benefits to Microchip USA, including access to new international markets and an increased ability to collaborate with foreign partners on defense projects. Additionally, being a registered exporter with the DTCC demonstrates Microchip USA’s commitment to compliance and adherence to U.S. export regulations.
