The EU has amended Annex I of the Dual-Use Regulation. This amendment adds a new group of goods, the '500 series.' This is a response to technological developments such as artificial intelligence.
The 500 series includes:
- Advanced chips
- Semiconductor production equipment
- Cryogenic cooling technologies
- Certain additive manufacturing techniques
What this means for your company:
- More products may fall under the export licensing requirement
- Pay attention to product classifications and ensure that your compliance procedures are up to date
We advise you to review processes and timely check whether your products fall under the new rules to avoid delays or fines.
