What dual-use items are, what the regulatory framework looks like, and the order of magnitude of penalties — written for leaders facing China export control seriously for the first time.
Policy statement, organisation, risk assessment, review procedures… what each of the nine elements actually requires, and what a minimum viable version looks like.
The customer will not state the end-use, asks to remove nameplates, routes shipping the long way… the red-flag checklist recognised across national guidance, and the standard response.
Use the steps below to review this page. Verify the complete official text before making a decision. Seek qualified advice when needed.
State the exact decision, owner, deadline, trade direction and required evidence. Do this before you search.
Confirm each legal name and alias. Check registration, ownership, control, intermediaries, carriers, banks and beneficial owners.
Record the item’s function, operating principle, material, model and performance. Include software, technology, accessories and decisive parameters.
Treat customs and export-control classification as separate tasks. Keep the facts, assumptions and reasoning for each result.
Confirm origin, departure, destination and transit points. Include re-export, remote access, technology transfer and each delivery path.
Identify the stated purpose and real operating environment. Check integration, sensitive sectors, military links and prohibited uses.
Check the purchaser, consignee, end user, operator and parent company. Identify anyone who can redirect or control the item.
Treat a search result as a lead. Read the official scope, definitions, notes, exclusions, annexes and licence conditions.
Use the version effective on the transaction date. Review later notices, temporary controls, destination measures and policy changes.
Prove every condition before using an exception or exemption. Apply the same rule to licence facilitation and general authorisations.
Pause when names, codes, documents, routes, prices or explanations conflict. Obtain evidence instead of filling gaps with assumptions.
Send unresolved questions to the compliance owner or a qualified adviser. This includes classification, ownership, use, destination and licensing.
Keep source links, files, checksums, screenshots, search terms and results. Record the reviewer, approvals and final reasoning.
Set a new review date for open transactions. Re-check changing parties, destinations, specifications, official lists and licences.
