Defence Export Controls (DEC) signs DSP-83 Non Transfer and Use Certificates on behalf of the Commonwealth of Australia. The DSP-83 certificate provides a non-transfer and end-use assurance for defence goods and technology exported from the U.S. to Australia.

With immediate effect, DEC announced that it will accept scanned PDF copies of DSP-83 forms, with the relevant parts completed. These forms can be submitted electronically to DEC. DEC will sign the form, and return a scanned copy to you via email, generally within 1 – 2 business days.

DEC has previously only accepted original DSP-83 forms in hardcopy based on U.S. Government requirements, with certificates posted or hand delivered to DEC before they could be finalised and returned to the U.S. The U.S. Government is now accepting scanned copies of fully executed DSP-83 forms submitted by U.S. applicants.
