Source of information Data reflects actual transfers
Explanatory Notes (a) Member States that do not have anything to report should file a "nil report" stating that no exports or imports have taken place in any of the categories during the reporting period.
(b) International arms transfers involve, in addition to the physical movement of equipment into or from national territory, the transfer of title to and control over the equipment. Member States are invited to provide with their return a concise explanation of national criteria used to determine when an arms transfer becomes effective. (See paragraph 42 of the annex to document N49/316.)
(c) In the "Remarks" column Member States may wish to describe the item transferred by entering the designation, type, model or any other information considered relevant. Member States may also wish to use the "Remarks" column to explain or clarify aspects relevant to the transfer.
(d) Multiple-launch rocket systems are covered by the definition of category III. Rockets qualifying for registration are covered under category VII. MAN PADS should be reported if the MANPADS system is supplied as a complete unit, i.e. the missile and launcher/grip-stock form an integral unit. In addition, individual launching mechanisms or grip-stock should also be reported. Individual missiles, not supplied with a launching mechanism or grip stock need not be reported.
(e) Check any of the following provided as part of your submission:
When reporting transfers, which criterion, drawn from paragraph 42 of the annex to document A/49/316, was used: Other criterion: Transfer of title and control.
