Companies must check whether the goods they wish to export are subject to authorisation. This applies not only to goods, but also to certain technologies in the form of drawings and data records if these are to be sent or made available for download. Prohibited consignees, traders, customers and banks must be identified as part of export controls. In addition, export controls also include checking for what purpose the exported goods are to be used and where they are to be delivered. This is because exports to certain countries are subject to authorization or prohibited due to embargoes.
