So, my friend has applied for his 07 FFL and I am also listed as a responsible person on the application.
When we did our initial interview with our examiner she said it was a requirement to register with ITAR and then the Department of State would tell us what if any our fee would be.
I went on the website and filled out most of the application but when I get to the end I am pretty sure it is going to want $500 for the current COVID reduced fee down from $2250.
Is this correct? I thought as long as we didn't manufacture Machineguns, sliencers, linked ammunition, etc. we would not need to register with the Department of State?
I don't want to not do something our examiner explicitly told us to do.
Also, if we did register and made a bunch of stuff regulated by ITAR could we drop our registration next year if the fees go back up to $2250 and retain ownership of those items after our registration expires?
Thank You for your advice.
