FAQ: Is ITAR and EAR Information also CUI on DoD Contracts?

by Josh Manuel on Dec 19 2025
Does ITAR or EAR-controlled technical data count as CUI under a DoD contract? In many cases, yes.

This guide explains how ITAR, EAR, DFARS 252.204-7012, and CUI requirements intersect, what manufacturers need to protect, and how to reduce compliance risk in engineering, production, quality, and visitor-access areas.
