Global export controls is evolving rapidly, whilst the US Departments of Commerce and State work to restructure the US Munitions and Commerce Control lists into one single list, and reclassify all military and dual use goods and technology, the European Commission is seeking guidance from industry on the current state of European export control regimes as well as releasing new general authorisations and China is developing its own stringent controls. At the same time the US Bureau of Industry and Security continues to investigate and fine companies and individuals for export control violations. All of these developments impact export controls compliance for companies based in Europe doing business globally.

As new technologies come on the market, the challenges of classifying dual-use items and technology and ensuring the proper licenses are in place is becoming increasingly difficult.
