Settled as the Compliance Evidence PackMost obligations are met by assertion until the day they’re tested. An Evidence Pack draws the boundary between what your records actually prove and what you’d have to reconstruct under a probe — before the prime, the auditor or the export regulator draws it for you.

On 30 December 2025 the US State Department’s DDTC finalised the AUKUS ITAR exemption — licence-free defence trade among the US, UK and Australia, in force, but with roughly 18% of relevant requests still licence-required because they fall on the Excluded Technology List.
