The bottom line is you can’t export a pair of night vision goggles out of the country of the United States. Doing so will be considered a federal offense and the repercussions for your actions will not be pretty. In fact, this enforcement falls under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation. In short, it is claimed that unless you have a valid export license that is issued by the United States Department of State Office of Defense Trade Controls you are prohibited to export them.
The reason for this is due to their sensitivity to these types of items as they can truly be used in sinister ways.
