EU Export Controls & Sanctions
Export compliance decisions you can defend
Export classification, export licensing and sanctions screening are where good intentions meet hard regulations. I help compliance teams and professionals build the knowledge and judgement to hold up — under audit, under pressure, across borders.
EU · UK · US — the full picture
Compliant with EU export controls? You may still need to check US export controls
Many European companies don’t realise US export controls can reach their business inside the EU. The moment your product is US-origin or carries US-origin components, technology or software, US export controls can apply to your re-export and your customer. Overlapping export controls is a real challange.
Layer 01
EU military, dual-use & sanctions
Export Classification, licensing catch-all controls and sanctions screening – the baseline every European exporter owns.
Layer 02
National & UK controls
Military lists, national licensing and post-Brexit UK strategic export controls — the layer EU regulation doesn’t reach.
Layer 03
US extraterritorial reach
EAR re-export rules, ITAR, US-origin content and de minimis thresholds. Why US export controls reach companies outside of US.
