The U.S. Government requires U.S. firms to obtain an export permit to export arms, ammunition, and related products to El Salvador.  A relatively small percentage of total U.S. exports and re-exports require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).  License requirements are dependent upon an item's technical characteristics, the destination, the end-user, and its end-use.  The exporter must determine whether the export requires a license.  BIS implements and enforces the Export Administration Regulations (EAR).
