Export control forms updated

The forms are designed to support the processing of export authorisations for dual-use items. They contain questions for companies about matters such as sanctions, end users of goods and human rights.

The Export Control Unit of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs has updated the Know your Customer form, which has already been in use. In addition, new forms relating to sanctions and human rights issues have been drawn up to support and accelerate the processing of applications for export authorisation. The forms are available on the Foreign Ministry's website on the page Export authorisations for dual-use items (in English, Finnish and Swedish).

Companies applying for an export authorisation may, if they so wish, attach the forms to their application and answer the questions that they consider relevant to the processing of the authorisation. The Export Control Unit may use the forms to request further information.
