ITAR Compliance Visitor Guidelines

At Legacy Industries, we prioritize both the safety of our facilities and the security of sensitive information. We ask for your cooperation in adhering to the following guidelines to ensure a productive and secure visit. 

General Compliance Overview

All visitors to Legacy Industries must comply with the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) as administered by the U.S. Department of State. This compliance ensures that controlled defense-related technologies and technical data are not improperly shared with foreign nationals. Before entering our facilities, visitors are required to sign an agreement acknowledging their responsibilities under ITAR and U.S. export regulations.

 

What Constitutes Export-Controlled Technology or Data?

Under ITAR, controlled technical data refers to information necessary for the development, production, or use of defense-related articles. This includes, but is not limited to, areas such as aerospace or defense manufacturing. According to ITAR, this information may include:

How is Export-Controlled Technology “Released”?

Export-controlled information is considered “released” when it becomes accessible to foreign nationals in any of the following ways:

Visitors refers to any non-Legacy employee. Common examples include visiting company representatives, students, researchers, or members of the media.

 

Visitor Categories & Security Measures

Visitor definition:A visitor is anyone not employed by Legacy Industries. This may include contractors, partners, students, or media representatives.

VISITOR CITIZENSHIP

Visitors will be required to declare their citizenship status when registering. This will determine their eligibility to enter restricted areas and participate in certain activities. Visitors will receive color-coded badges to indicate their access level.

ESCORT & ACCESS REQUIREMENTS

Non-U.S. citizen visitors must be escorted by an authorized Legacy representative at all times during their visit. These visitors will not be given access to secure areas or sensitive information, including keys, keycards, passwords, or other means of entry to restricted zones.

RESTRICTIONS ON PARTICIPATION

Due to ITAR compliance requirements, some non-U.S. citizens may be restricted from certain activities or areas, especially where export-controlled work is conducted. Legacy Industries reserves the right to limit access to these restricted zones, which may prevent non-U.S. visitors from participating in full tours of the facility.

Visitor Policy

Purpose

To provide a safe and secure environment for employees, visitors and property and to ensure that only authorized personnel have access to the Company facilities. Every visitor must obtain an identification badge and visibly display and wear the badge while on property.

Policy Statement

Signing In and Out: Legacy Industries is an ITAR Government regulated company and requires all visitors to sign in and out of our facilities. In addition, you must list your citizenship when signing in. If you are NOT a U.S. person special arrangement must be made before you can enter our facility so you must notify the receptionist. There is a visitor registration book in the front lobby/reception area and also in shipping & receiving. Once you sign in you will receive a visitor’s badge which must be on you and visible at all times. Another essential reason for following this process is that we utilize the visitor registration book during an emergency that requires evacuation of the building.
