Foreign Policy (FP)
Proliferation (MT, NP, CB)
Missile Technology – MT
Nuclear Proliferation – NP
Chemical/Biological - CB MORE BASICS.
The US controls exports for National Security National security - the condition of the nation, in terms of threats, especially threats from outside. One of the major jobs of the federal government is to ensure the security of the nation.

5. Here’s a good reason to care:Export Control Violations are Federal Crimes Protect Yourselves: The Export Laws and Regulations Have Teeth and Can Bite
ITAR Criminal and Civil Penalties
Fine of up to $1 million per violation
Imprisonment - 10 years per violation

Checks and safeguards at key steps in program development and implementation
Applicable to NASA contractors and grantees as required in their contracts or grants
Contractor is responsible for export compliance in the execution of contracted work (NFS 1825.1103-70 and 1852.225-70)
Except when NASA directs or authorizes a contractor to effect exports using a NASA-obtained IVL or GBL
