Our client's challenge

Choice of export licenses for the authorization to be granted

Dual-use goods are those that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. They must be authorized to be exported. Several types of licenses authorizing their export are provided for by European and French legislation.

Each export license has its own specific characteristics depending on the export location, the frequency of export or the quantity of goods exported. Some licenses allow goods to be exported on a permanent basis but require an internal control system to be implemented. These internal systems must ensure the identity of the end-users and the final location of the exported goods.

Depending on the classification of the goods being exported, the location of the end-user and the quantity and frequency of the exports, the most relevant license must be identified.
