Export of dual-use items
Last update
The export of dual-use items is either prohibited, or subject to a prior ministerial authorisation, or not restricted at all if certain conditions are met. The type of restriction is dependent on the concerned category of dual-use items.
Restrictive measures (either a prohibition, or a prior authorisation) have as well been put in place for exports to certain countries.
Any application for authorisation shall be submitted to OCEIT using an available application form (French, Pdf, 1.17 Mb). The application will be processed within 60 working days from the day the file is complete. The individual authorisation is valid for 1 year, the global authorisation is valid for 3 years, renewable.
For certain products and certain destinations, a general export authorisations of the European Union (EU001 to EU008) may be used by the exporter. In such a case, a prior registration with OCEIT shall be required by using the declaration form (French, Pdf, 1.82 Mb). The registration is automatic and shall be notified by OCEIT at the latest 10 working days following the receipt of the registration declaration. The general export authorisations of the European Union are not time limited.
Who is concerned
Any exporter who wishes to export or re-export a dual-use item:
Anyone who transmits software or technology (qualified as dual-use items) to a destination outside the European Union (except if that transmission implies a cross-border movement of persons):
- by electronic media, including by fax, telephone, electronic mail or any other electronic means; or
- orally, when the technology is described over the telephone;
- listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 2021/821;
- not listed in Annex I of Regulation (EC) 2021/821;
- if the items in question are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for use in connection with the development, production, handling, operation, maintenance, storage, detection, identification or dissemination of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or the development, production, maintenance or storage of missiles capable of delivering such weapons, and if (a) the competent authorities of the Member State in which the exporter is established have informed him of such destination, or (b) the exporter has grounds to suspect such a destination, has informed the ministers and the ministers have informed him that an authorisation is required;
- if the purchasing country or country of destination is subject to an arms embargo imposed by a decision or common position adopted by the Council or a decision of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) or an arms embargo imposed by a binding resolution of the Security Council of the United Nations and if the exporter has been informed by the authorities that the items in question are or may be intend, in their entirety or in part, for a military end-use;
- if the items in question are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for use as parts or components of military items listed in the national military list that have been exported from the territory of that Member State without authorisation or in violation of such an authorisation and if the authorities have informed the exporter of such use;
- if the exporter is aware or suspects that these items are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for the uses referred to in Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EC) 2021/821, has informed the ministers who have informed him or his representative of the need to request the authorisation;
- if the exporter has a reason to suspect that the export of the items affect or are likely to affect the national or external security of the country or the safeguarding of human rights, has informed the ministers who have informed him or his representative of the need to request the authorisation.
Any exporter who wishes to export or re-export a dual-use product to a country in respect of which restrictive measures are in place:
Exporter: The exporter is the person who, at the time where the export declaration is accepted, holds the contract with the consignee in the third country and has the power for determining the sending of the item out of the customs territory of the European Union.
If no export contract has been concluded or if the holder of the contract does not act on its own behalf, the exporter shall mean the person who has the power for determining the sending of the item out of the customs territory of the European Union.
Where the benefit of a right to dispose of the dual-use item belongs to a person established outside the European Union, pursuant to the contract on which the export is based, the exporter shall be considered to be the contracting party established in the European Union.
Prerequisites
Preliminary steps
The exporter shall inform the ministers:
- if the exporter has reasons to suspect that the items in question are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for the items in question are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for use in connection with the development, production, handling, operation, maintenance, storage, detection, identification or dissemination of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices or the development, production, maintenance or storage of missiles capable of delivering such weapons;
- if the exporter has reasons to suspect that the export of the items affect or are likely to affect the national or external security of the country or the safeguarding of human rights.
Before using the general export authorisation of the European Union for dual-use items, the exporter must register with OCEIT.
In order to be able to submit the application or the registration declaration electronically, the exporter must first make an express request (on free paper or by email) to OCEIT and get their approval.
Deadlines
The registration with OCEIT must take place at the latest 10 working days before the first use of the general export authorisation of the European Union.
Costs
Neither the application for authorisation nor the issuance of the export authorisation by OCEIT, nor the prior registration before the use of the general export authorisation of the European Union, nor the notification of the registration by OCEIT, shall give rise to the levying of any taxes or fees.
How to proceed
Submitting the application
The exporter shall submit his / her application for an individual or global authorisation to OCEIT using the application form (French, Pdf, 1.17 Mb).
The registration for the use of a general transfer authorisation of the European Union shall be submitted to OCEIT by using the declaration form (French, Pdf, 1.82 Mb). This authorisation is only valid certain dual-use items and for certain destinations.
