DDTC License meaning

A DDTC license is the export authorization from the US State Department for specific hardware items or technical data controlled by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), referred to as a defense article, to be exported to a specific country.

It can also be used for a foreign person employee (FPE) of a company, which represents the technical data that can be exported to that individual, based upon his country of origin. Nevertheless, don’t forget that the ITAR also includes certain exemptions that allow you to export defense articles without a license.
