DDTC Updates Reexport/Retransfer Application

The State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls notified industry of a newly added category in the agency’s DS-6004 reexport/retransfer application, a notice issued July 20 said. DDTC said it added an “'other' category” to Block 4” of the application, which should be selected by companies submitting general correspondence requests related to mergers and acquisitions, entity name or address changes, registration code changes, U.S. persons providing defense services abroad, end-use or end-user change requests; and amendments to existing general correspondence approvals.

DDTC said it will still accept paper submissions for these requests but said they may be subject to “extended processing times.” Mail-in applications should include an email address so DDTC can email its response.
