What is export/export control?

Export control is an instrument of foreign trade law (AWR) that restricts the freedom of foreign trade in certain areas and isolates certain persons, organisations, associations and companies from economic life. 

The aim of export controls is to promote regional stability and the protection of human rights worldwide on the one hand and to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and terrorism on the other. To this end, not only the export of defence equipment is subject to controls, but also the export of dual-use goods (civil/military) as well as technologies, materials, supplies and testing and inspection facilities required for the development, manufacture and application of these goods.

Export control therefore means that the following activities in connection with listed goods may be subject to authorisation or prohibited when working with partners in certain countries:

  • Shipment of goods
  • Forwarding of technical documents (e.g. by e-mail) 
  • publications
  • Technology transfer
  • Technical services
  • Knowledge transfer

The shipment of non-listed goods may also be subject to authorisation or prohibited in the case of a critical use or a listed recipient.

Undeclared or unauthorised export of controlled goods/technologies can result in penalties in the form of fines as well as imprisonment.
