Export controls
We advise Danish businesses on all of the rules and potential hazards to be aware of when trading in products and services that are considered dual-use products.
Both the EU and the US have introduced legislation to prevent the exporting of weapons to countries that pose a threat to international peace or intend to use weapons for internal oppression. For most businesses, however, it is of greater relevance that a range of similar restrictions apply to the exportation of products that are designed for civil use but can also be used for military purposes.
We have in-depth knowledge of conducting business on the international market, which, from a legal perspective, is becoming increasingly complex.
Our advice
We advise on issues such as:
- relevant legislation and practice, including in relation to export control licences
- preparation and enforcement of relevant compliance programmes
- handling historical infringements, including voluntary self-reporting of internal investigations.
