A comprehensive database of export control regulations.

The Knowledge Base is providing an easy access to a detailed overview of the legal framework of export control compliance.

Integrating at present EU, US, German, French and Luxembourg laws and regulations, it will allow a company to evaluate what legal requirements shall apply in case it operates an export of controlled items to, or an import from, Member States of the EU or from any third country.

It integrates a search engine by key words, in order to allow users to search, in legislations and regulations of the countries already integrated, for specific articles and provisions.

More than 45 countries are yet to be integrated (coming very soon).
