Honda Aircraft Settles with DOJ over Hiring Error
Honda Aircraft will pay a civil penalty for requiring job applicants to have a specific citizenship status due to a “misunderstanding" of requirements.

Under a settlement announced by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, Honda Aircraft will pay a civil penalty of $44,626 for requiring job applicants to have a specific citizenship status to be considered for vacancies due to a “misunderstanding” of the requirements under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). ITAR regulates specific exports of defense articles and services and limits access to certain sensitive information to “U.S. persons,” which are defined as U.S. citizens, U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, asylees, and refugees.
