Focus area
Export control, classified with confidence.
Export control regulates the cross-border movement of strategic products, technology, and technical assistance. Kulik Sweden helps you understand where your products stand and what your obligations are, with a focus on product classification.
The domain
What export control means in practice
Strategic products, dual-use items, technology, and technical assistance.
Controlled goods & technology
Military equipment and dual-use items: civilian products, software, and technology with potential military or security applications, governed by Swedish and EU law.
Licensing & authority
In Sweden, the Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP) administers the Military Equipment Act and the Act on Control of Dual-Use Items, implementing EU rules through licensing and supervision.
Compliance obligations
Classification, screening, and documentation responsibilities follow the product, not the paperwork. Getting them right protects delivery capability and commercial standing.
EU Dual-Use Regulation
Regulation (EU) 2021/821 and its Annex I control list. Assessment of whether a product, software, or technology falls under a control entry, and what that means for licensing within the EU and Sweden.
EAR & ITAR
Distinction between EAR jurisdiction with an ECCN on the Commerce Control List, and ITAR jurisdiction with USML categorisation for defence articles and technical data.
Reference frameworks include ISP (Inspektionen för strategiska produkter), Sveriges Exportkontrollförening, Regulation (EU) 2021/821, US BIS classification guidance.
How we help
Structured support, practical outcomes.
Product Classification
Step 01
Assess
Review the product, technology, and project context to identify applicable control frameworks.
Step 02
Classify
Develop a reasoned, documented classification position for EU Annex I, EAR/ECCN, or ITAR/USML relevance.
Step 03
Yearly classification revisions
Revisit classifications as control lists, regulations, and products evolve, so every position stays current and reliable year after year.
Internal Compliance Program
Step 01
Design
Establish policies, routines, and responsibilities that match your products, markets, and licensing needs.
Step 02
Embed
Integrate screening, documentation, and decision support into daily work, so compliance follows the process rather than relying on individuals.
Step 03
Audit
Review and strengthen the program over time, aligned with authority expectations and evolving regulation.
Project Management
Step 01
Lead
Lead classification work directly, including off-site teams of classification personnel, with clear mandates and review routines.
Step 02
Coordinate
Run the classical export control workstream: intake, screening, licensing, and follow-up across suppliers and stakeholders.
Step 03
Deliver
Keep classification, permits, and documentation consistent through build and delivery, protecting both schedule and compliance.
