Compliance with Legal Requirements

Numerous rules and legal regulations significantly influence international trade.

Although the principle of export freedom applies, many goods are subject to export control and require an export license for delivery from the European Union.

In addition to classic military goods and weapons, so-called dual-use goods must also be considered.

These are goods that are primarily of a civilian nature but are also of interest for the development and production of weapons.

Based on international agreements, these goods cannot be freely exported but are subject to export control if certain technical parameters are met.

In addition to the regulations on military goods, further restrictions must be observed for various goods (narcotics, fruits and vegetables, goods of animal origin, feed and food, endangered species of animals and plants, cultural goods, waste, chemicals, etc.).

There is also monitoring for items used for torture and repression, and embargo regulations against certain countries and individuals must also be observed.

The range of goods that can be subject to export control is therefore large and diverse.
