Government or Industrial
This column shows the identity of the vendor. This is currently defined in
three ways:
government: sales by government ministries of their SALW (for
example the sale of surplus equipment by a ministry of defence).
industrial: commercial sales of SALW negotiated by companies.
Please note that these will normally also have to receive a government export
license.
not known: instances where no information is
available.
Please see the notes on the individual data sources for more specific
information.
