Listed below are some examples of violations.
- Providing firearms training to a Foreign Person without having authority to export defense services to that person — even if that person is familiar with firearms and understands how to operate, maintain, or refurbish that weapon.
- Sending manuals or other technical data to a Foreign Person without having authority to export technical data to that person — such as manuals that contain TTPs — even if they are publically available online.
- Sending controlled parts or materials for items, such as aircraft or firearms, without having the authority to export defense articles to a foreign country — even if those parts or materials are going to U.S. citizens or the U.S. Government.
- In March 2007, ITT Corporation was fined for criminal violation of the act. The fines resulted from ITT's outsourcing program, in which they transferred night vision goggles and classified information about countermeasures against laser weapons, including light interference filters to engineers in Singapore, the People's Republic of China, and the United Kingdom.
They were fined $100 million U.S. dollars, although they were also given the option of spending half of that sum on research and development of new night vision technology. The United States Government will assume rights to the resulting created intellectual property.
- Raytheon settled in a case in connection with the unauthorized export of defense articles and defense services to Canada and to Pakistan and with the unauthorized re-transfer of defense articles through Canada to Pakistan, all concerning the
AN/TRC-170 Troposcatter system. Raytheon ultimately paid a $25 million dollar fine as part of their settlement.
