ITAR vs. EAR: When PCB Fabrication Can Move Outside the U.S.
August 31, 2026 | Ryan O'Connor, SOMACIS

Whether a PCB can be fabricated outside the United States depends not just on whether it is ITAR- or EAR-controlled, but on how the program is classified, what data is involved, who can access it, and how fabrication is executed across locations.
