To touch base on this a little bit, the United States Government revised 15 C.F.R 744.211 provisions related to Military End Uses and Military End Users, and it has its major effects in China, Russia, and Venezuela. Quoted from Body Armor News: "The companies that were primarily affected by this new policy can be reviewed in the NIJ body armor Compliant Product List. The Compliant Product List contains the recently inactivated body armor models. For instance, the affected companies in China include:
Beijing V-great International Trade Co., Ltd., Beijing Tongyizhong New Material Technology Corporation, Beijing Perfect Protection Technology Co., Ltd, HANGZHOU PINYI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. PUFAN. Senken Group Co., Ltd. SUPOWER FACTORY CO. LTD, YUANFAR ARMOR, Beijing Aerospace Rate Mechanical & Electrical Engineering Co. And Sumdex / S-Shield.
The list does include also some companies outside China. The inactivated body armor models are from the companies:
Ace Link Industrial Inc., Elite Armor, First Class Uniform, Inc, Patriot Armor, Inc. Praetorian Guard LLC, Protection Group Danmark, Skarr Advanced Materials, LLC. VestGuard UK." View Quote The NIJ does allow certs for other foreign companies such as MC Internacional S.A.S out of Columbia and Protective Materials Technology S.A. DE C.V. out of Mexico. I have heard a rumor, and it's just a rumor, that a lot of times FITs weren't done on foreign companies because of travel. I could see this during covid times. To speak on white labeling certified products, the manufacturer that submitted for certification has to fill out a form and send to the NIJ. This form includes information about the company and a mock up label that the company will use. That is if it is being white labeled (example Shellback Tactical.) If it is not white labeled and the reseller is just using the original logo, then nothing needs to be done (example Top Armor with Highcom & LTC products)
