Terms of Use – Dual-Use-Finder

1. Scope of use

This application serves as a research and classification aid for dual-use goods pursuant to EU Regulation 2021/821 (updated by Delegated Regulation 2025/2003). The application is free of charge and non-commercial.

The Dual-Use-Finder currently covers exclusively the EU Dual-Use Regulation (EU) 2021/821 (Annex I and Annex IV) and the German Export List (Part I, Sections A and B). The following bodies of rules are not part of this application and must be checked separately:

Chemicals list under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC)
EU Common Military List
US export control law (EAR / ITAR)
EU embargo regulations – country-specific goods and arms embargoes

The integration of the German Export List is planned as an extension for a future version.

2. No legal advice

The information provided does not replace legal or export control advice. For questions regarding classification or export control assessment, please contact your responsible export control department, a lawyer specialised in export control law, or the competent authorities (e.g. BAFA – the German Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control). For binding classifications, a chargeable goods list ruling (Auskunft zur Güterliste, AzG) can also be requested from BAFA.

3. Limitation of liability

Despite careful maintenance of the contents, no liability is assumed for the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the regulatory data. The official texts in the Official Journal of the EU are always authoritative.

4. Licence of use

The application is intended for internal, non-commercial use. Distribution or publication without authorisation is not permitted.
