Our Export Control Consultancy & Advisory Services

Get a head start on export controls! Schedule a free 1-hour consultation to address EU, UK, and U.S. risks and discover how our consultancy safeguards your business.


Export controls are complex and enforcement is intensifying globally. Companies handling dual-use items, military goods, aerospace components, or sensitive technologies must navigate EU Dual-Use Regulation, UK Export Control Order, U.S. EAR, and ITAR. Missteps can lead to fines, shipment delays, and reputational damage.


Where Export Controls Can Go Wrong


Even experienced businesses face compliance pitfalls:


  • Misclassification of goods: Exporting dual-use electronics or encryption software without proper classification.

  • Unlicensed exports to sanctioned countries: Selling controlled items to Russia, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Cuba, or Venezuela without the right licence.

  • Incomplete due diligence on counterparties: Supplying items to intermediaries who later divert them to restricted end-users.

  • Misuse of licence exceptions or general authorisations: Overestimating coverage under EUGEAs, OGEL/SIEL/OIEL, or EAR licence exceptions.

  • Failure to maintain records: Losing shipment or licence documentation, risking regulatory scrutiny.

  • Indirect exports or re-exports: Items routed through third countries without checking U.S., UK, or EU rules.

  • Inadequate staff training: Logistics or sales teams unaware of controlled items or screening obligations.
