    How it works

    Delegate classifications to product experts without having to worry about the legal framework. CAS has all the legal knowledge you need built in. Simply create users and let the tool guide them through each step of the classification process. 

    Users automatically receive an invitation to begin the assessment. Once they’re logged in, they can choose a questionnaire to work on by selecting the relevant checkboxes. The tool guides the user through a set of questions, following a decision-tree structure compliant with export controls’ legal framework for classification. 

    A completed questionnaire will result in a classification of ‘dual-use item’, ‘no dual-use item’, or the request to contact the Compliance Manager, who can access the outcome of questionnaires at any time. Reports on the decision paths can be shared easily within the organisation and emailed to business partners or third parties. 

    Log files with dates and references can be easily produced should the Export Controls Compliance Program require details about the assessment of projects and/or dual-use items.

    Frequently asked questions

    Are your goods subject to export controls? These answers may help you. 

    What does 'export controls' refer to?

    Export controls refer to transfers of goods. These controls are performed by competent authorities on the transfer of strategic goods and technology, in particular to or from certain third countries, as well as the transfer of financial resources where sanctioned persons and entities are involved. The export, transfer, brokering, and transit of strategic goods is subject to controls. 

    What are strategic goods?

    Strategic goods are both military goods and the so-called "dual-use" items which can be used for both military and civilian applications. In addition to these two product categories, there are also lists of "controlled" products when imported from and exported to sanctioned countries such as Iran, Russia, Syria, Sudan, etc. Services related to strategic goods, such as intangible transfer of technology or technical assistance, are also subject to controls.

    Besides the EU country-specific sanctions against certain third countries, which impose restrictions and prohibitions in relation to the supply of strategic goods and transfer of financial resources, there are lists of individuals and entities with whom every type of transaction is strictly forbidden.
