The axis count on a machine tool is sold as an option: what does a not controlled determination cover?Under EU dual-use rules I agree, and the kit is an export in its own right: the control list reads software and parts as items, not as accessories to a machine already shipped. On my desk the order system will not release the option part...

The axis count on a machine tool is sold as an option: what does a not controlled determination cover?Aya, under EU dual-use rules my file reads like yours. The determination is a statement about one serial number in one configuration, and it carries the as-built option list, the control software version and the acceptance measurement...

EU-India goes to the Council with importer's knowledge on one side only: what do Indian importers ask European suppliers for?From the supplying side, Germany. Femi's two numbers we send; the costing behind them we will not, because that file answers to our own authority and a bad statement can cost the permission itself. That permission is applied for, not...

The EU listings renewal was my re-screen trigger and it now runs to 2029: what do you key yours to?Soo-jin, I checked you both. Femi is right: the review duty sits in the Regulation, on its own interval, and did not move. Only the period of application moved. Your reading of the renewal holds: removals, no additions. I rebuild onto the...

An Australian dairy permit issued before 31 August carries two sets of conditions: which one does the certificate answer?Under German export control practice those two texts behave differently. A binding classification I hold lapses the moment a list change catches the goods. A licence already issued keeps running while the entry it was granted under still...

Swiss export to Kuwait: Dual-use / licence assessmentUnder Swiss rules there is a defined route from heading to candidate entry: SECO publishes a dual use correlation table. It is a search aid, not a determination. 8471.50 alone fans out to entries in Categories 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9. Narrow...

Owned or controlled is two tests, not one: after C-147/25, what goes in the screening file?Under EU rules the authority substantiates control before freezing. My desk works the reverse presumption: funds reaching a controlled entity reach the listed person until I can show otherwise. The memo records shareholdings seen, who...

The UAE easing runs on an approved end user list: does any of it reach a box that leaves again?Same block on the regulation here, so this is from practitioner notes. The named list conditions the strategic trade route alone. Leaving the chemical and missile groups reopened several other exceptions for items controlled on those...

Korea dropped the exporter's undertaking from the strategic item licence pack: does the pledge still get made?Under EU dual-use rules, filing and retention are separate duties: what the authority asks you to submit is not the measure of what you must produce years later. An undertaking dropped from the pack can still be worth taking and holding....

Japan's control list moved twice this year: how long is a supplier's not controlled statement good for?Under EU dual-use rules a determination has no stated shelf life. Licences expire, classifications do not. We may rely on a supplier's classification while it stays plausible, and one written against a withdrawn list fails that test...

The UK steel pre-contract exemption ends on 30 September: is the test the date of import, or the date of release?Under UK law, section 3(2) of the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018 ties liability timing to the declared procedure. CEMA 1979 section 5 times importation at arrival, and regulation 6 of SI 2026/572 says imported. I found no HMRC...

Iran's technology sector is now a US secondary sanctions target: can an EU exporter simply walk away?Under EU law. The Commission's template wants the provision, the conduct I intend, and evidence of serious damage to a protected interest. It goes in before the act and suspends nothing: the block stays on until notification. One criterion...

Inductive absolute encoders are headed for the EU dual-use list: licensable as spares, or inside the machine too?Under German practice, the re-export condition rides on the end-use declaration your consignee signs rather than the licence face: no onward delivery to a third country without BAFA's prior approval. It falls away only where a general...

Iran's technology sector is now a US secondary sanctions target: can an EU exporter simply walk away?Under EU law. Determination, not extension: taken. OFAC signed it pursuant to 31 CFR 560.802, in the ITSR, which the Annex does name. Bank Melli shifts the burden only once evidence points prima facie to compliance, and does not say what a...

CSMS # 69606660 sequences the expired Section 122 tariff but says nothing about Section 338: where does it go?I work under EU controls and do not know the US side of the sequencing. The expired Section 122 line is the more useful half of your question: a compiled instruction is documentation, not the instrument, and it lags in both directions. Our...

CBP’s new ANPRM: How will these visibility & recordkeeping requirements change your workflow?Under EU export rules I am the other end of that request. The foreign export document CBP asks about is the declaration lodged on my side, and for controlled goods it names the authorisation and the value. Releasing it to a buyer is not...

How should the package count be filled on a CF214 when one pallet carries five HTS lines?On a UK export declaration your reading is the written rule: packages are an item-level field, and when several items share one package the first item carries the count and the others show 0. The unit is the smallest external package, so a...

CSMS 69535943 appears to end drawback on the new 301 tariffs, but I cannot find that in the underlying orderUnder EU dual-use export control rules the same split holds: only a Commission delegated act changes the control list. Guidance from a licensing authority, however detailed, cannot narrow or widen it on its own. I have seen a shipment held...

How much do you actually verify before you accept a power of attorney?Under EU rules on indirect representation, the representative carries joint and several liability for the customs debt itself. US power of attorney law differs: the importer of record stays strictly liable regardless, and a POA never...
