What is the See-Through rule?
Under this rule, DDTC will “see-through” an item to its most restricted component and the classification of the whole item or system will be based on the classification of that one component. This is not specifically spelled out in the ITAR regulation, but it is the current agency interpretation. PEI-Genesis uses the See-Through rule in classifying its products.

If any component used in the assembly of a product is restricted, then we classify all finished goods that use that component as restricted.
