Arms and ammunition
If you wish to import, export, or transit arms or ammunition, you must declare them to a customs office. Learn more about the necessary permits and legal frameworks.
Goods with both civilian and military applications
Dual-use goods, which can be used for both civilian and military purposes, are subject to specific control obligations upon import and export. Typically, they require a permit under the Goods Control Act or the War Material Act for export. These regulations aim to prevent the association of these goods with nuclear, biological, or chemical weapons.
Import Control System 2: ICS2
ICS2, the Import Control System 2, sets new standards for collecting data on goods from third countries before they are imported into the common security area. This approach primarily affects the processes of postal operators, express courier companies, and air transport carriers, who must adapt their operations.
