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.
