How would one ever police what % of the payload is for military use by
the end user country? A satellite itself could be 90% civilian with 10%
military. This ITAR seems pretty pointless.
Are these RF modules classified as ITAR or as Dual Use ?
If they are Dual Use, the EAR De Minimis rule applies, which means that
if the price of the components is less than 10% of the total price of
the payload, no export licences are required for the Mini-Circuits US
manufacturer.
