Export Policies and Restrictions

The internet store at www.BasicPrecision.com is operated by Basic Finder, LLC dba Basic Precision (hereinafter “Basic Precision”, “we”, “us” and “our”). We are a US based limited liability company and all products (including technical data thereof) in our store (hereinafter “product(s)” or “item(s)”) are intended for selling strictly for domestic use by US persons. This policy is partially dictated by our obligations coming out of dealer’s agreements with the products manufacturers and to the larger extent – by the fact that vast majority of the items we sell are subject to export restrictions and regulations of the US Government. The list of such items includes but is not limited to sighting equipment (night vision, thermal and optical) including technical data thereof (user guides, manuals, etc.), mounting hardware and accessories.

The U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security, and the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control administer export control regulations in accordance with International Traffic in Arms (ITAR), Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations Part 120-130 and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) and / or other applicable regulatory documents.

It is illegal to transfer by any means (including but not limited to selling, gifting, exchanging or any other means), to transport, to export or attempting to export, or to ship outside of the U.S. (even for personal use) of any products or any technical data for the products prohibited or restricted for export without complying with U.S. export control laws and regulations. Furthermore, it is unlawful to transfer by any means of any products or any technical data for the products prohibited or restricted for export or providing any service to any foreign person, whether abroad or in the United States, for which a license or written approval of the U.S. Government is required, without first obtaining the applicable license or written approval from the applicable department of the U.S. Government. Sales or transfers of any products to entities on the List of Debarred Parties, Denied Persons list, Unverified List and Embargoed Countries are strictly prohibited. Violation of any applicable regulation of the U.S. Government may result in civil penalties (including imprisonment if convicted) and/or constitute a federal crime.
