D-Trade / Licensing Update: Only D-Trade Electronic Submissions as of April 30, 2007

Last Updated: January 2, 2008

As of April 30, 2007, the Office of Defense Trade Controls Licensing no longer accepts the “carbon paper” and “downloadable” DSP-5, DSP-61, and DSP-73 application forms. The D-Trade (electronic) version of these forms may only be used, and must be submitted through D-Trade. Any “carbon paper” or “downloadable” form postmarked or hand delivered after April 30 will be returned to the applicant.

For amendments, the DSP-119 may still be used until replaced by the DSP-6, DSP-62, and DSP-74.

Submissions not affected by this change include: DSP-85 (Application/License for Permanent/Temporary Export or Temporary Import of Classified Defense Articles and Classified Technical Data), DSP-53 (International Import Certificate), General Correspondences (GCs), Agreements and Agreement Amendments (AGs, TAAs, MAs, DAs), and Brokering Requests (BAs).

Applicants Meeting the Registration Exemption Requirement Must Also Use D-Trade

To determine eligibility for this exemption, see page 9 in this document.

For individuals who meet the registration exemption requirement, the D-Trade forms are also to be used to submit license applications. Do the following: 1) visit the D-Trade Homepage through the DDTC Web site; 2) download PureEdge Form Viewer; 3) complete the appropriate DSP form on-line; and 4) sign, print, and mail the application using the appropriate address.
