If you are just an FFL (type 1 or 2) with an SOT (Type Class 3 aka dealer only) you do not need to pay the ITAR fee.
However, if you are a firearm manufacturer (type 7 or 10) with (Class 2 SOT) or not, than you will need to pay the ITAR fee regardless of whether you have ever or ever plan to export anything. Are there folks out there who are Title 1 FFL firearm manufactuers and/or a FFL firearm manufacturer with a Class 2 SOT who have never paid the ITAR fee... sure, but they just have not been caught yet. However, if you are a manufacturer FFL (type 7 or 10) and make anything that could be construed as a defense article that is on the United States Munitions List than by the letter of the law you need to register and pay the appropriate ITAR fee. (in most cases $1750 per year if memory serves correctly) Hope this helps James Austin, Texas |

Correct, just went thru an SOT licensing inspection. |

Are you saying you sent in SOT payment and they came out to inspect your premises before issuing you your SOT? |

They do a premis inspection when you get an FFL for the first time and also explain the forms and record keeping reqirements to you.
The normal compliance inspection is for FFL holders, but if you are also a Class 3 they can also check those items at the same time. Been there done that - many times. I've had an FFL/Class 3 for 33 yrs. Sarge |

Not sure what this random tidbit has to do with an FFL/SOT in San Antonio. |
