• Hello.
  Why do those thermal cameras that are not US brands still have 9hz version? Isn't ITAR only controlling items exported from USA?
  Thanks.

• Google Wassenaar.  The US is not the only country that believes that all technology does not belong in all hands.

• Additionally, once a 30Hz camera gets into a Wassenaar signatory state/area, it cannot leave without a license regardless of who made it.

• Interesting, Bill. Does that mean that I can't take my 25Hz hi res non-ITAR thermal camera on holiday from the UK to a non-Wassenaar country such as Israel - even if it was actually manufactured there?

  That is my understanding, although whether the destination is a Wassenaar signatory is not relevant.  It is a UK controlled item trying to cross a Wassenaar border (EU is one zone for Wassenaar purposes).

• Actually, according to the domestic law of some WA signatory like Japan, you can't even bring the camera back to its origin country without permission even if the origin country is a WA signatory too.
