Export Compliance

Operating on a global market confronts you as a company with significant challenges. The export of goods, services, trading and brokerage activities or know-how transfers is subjected to certain restrictions and licensing requirements. Not only the military industry is affected, but all products that can be classified as so-called “dual-use goods”. These are defined as apparently harmless goods that can (possibly) be misused twice. In particular, the use in weapons is envisaged here. The German Federal Office of Economics and Export Controls “BAFA” is responsible for controlling such export goods.

The laws, technical regulations and infrastructural requirements for export goods vary from country to country. Without an efficient export compliance system, these regulations can hardly be managed. Export violations related to dual-use goods result in heavy fines.
