Key components of our Export Licensing service

Product classification and export eligibility 

Before any licensing step, we determine the export classification of your items:

​

• ECCN codes under EAR (Export Administration Regulations)

• ML codes under the EU Common Military List

• BDU numbers (Biens à double usage)

• Classification of software, services, and technical data

​​

We analyze the technical specifications of your items and, if necessary, consult with the competent authorities to confirm the export control status.

​

License requirement assessment 

Once classification is confirmed, we evaluate:

​

• The exact licensing needs based on destination, end-use, and end-user

• Whether a national or international license is needed

• The applicability of general licenses, individual licenses, or license exemptions

• The presence of restricted or sanctioned parties through screening tools

​​

Our Export Licensing experts help you define the scope of your request and select the most efficient licensing route.

We ensure that all required documentation is complete, up to date, and aligned with your internal compliance policies.

We also support communication with authorities to monitor the process and integrate their feedback.

• We organize license documentation for audit-readiness

Our process allows you to maintain full traceability across all product versions, destinations, and timelines.

FAQ – Export Licensing

Do I always need a license to export a product?

Not necessarily. It depends on the product classification, destination, end-user, and applicable regulations.

How long does it take to obtain a license?

Processing time varies by country and type. Individual licenses can take weeks to months; general licenses are faster but require internal controls.

​

Can I export while my license is pending?

In most cases, no. Exporting without the required license may result in severe penalties.

​

Who in my company should be involved in licensing?

Ideally, compliance, legal, program managers, and export control officers should coordinate together.
