The term “Export Controls” means the organization that all companies must put in place in order to assess risks arising from the dispatch of goods and from technologies, companies, entities and financial transactions in relation to restrictions, prohibitions and embargoes imposed on the country to which they export.

Adopting an Export Controls system has become necessary after the creation of numerous black lists by international authorities (USA, EU, UN and now the UK), who have imposed restrictions on companies and entities, increasing the number of controls required when exporting to risk countries.

Export Controls also verify the legitimacy of trading in military and dual use products and technologies. “Goods with dual use” are specifically goods and technologies used mainly for civil purposes but which may have a military application and hence are subject to restrictions or controls.
