The challenge of dual-use property law
Trade in dual-use goods – i.e. products that can be used for both civilian and military purposes – is subject to strict international regulations. Companies that are active in sensitive areas of technology must ensure that their exports comply with the EU regulations, national regulations and international embargo lists.
In doing so, they are confronted with several challenges:
- Complex regulations: The legal framework is often difficult to understand and changes regularly.
- Lengthy approval processes: Export applications can take weeks to months to process.
- Lack of transparency in supply chains: An incorrect end-use declaration can lead to legal consequences.
- Unforeseen sanctions & geopolitical risks: Companies must ensure that there are no business relationships with sanctioned partners.
To support exporters in this complex environment, the RocFortis Group combines state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) with sophisticated information gathering methods to increase compliance security and significantly accelerate approval processes.
