Classify dual-use goods correctly
Sanctinel proposes a classification for your goods against the EU list (Annex I) and the US Commerce Control List — with parameter thresholds, CN/HS code correlation and a catch-all hint for sensitive destinations. Assisted: you confirm.
Sanctinel is a screening aid, not legal advice. Competent authority in Germany: BAFA.
Between allowed and licensable sits a single parameter
It hinges on thresholds
Whether a good is listed often comes down to one technical parameter — a frequency, an accuracy, a power rating.
Catch-all & destination
Even unlisted goods can require a licence depending on the recipient and end use.
The lists are unwieldy
Annex I and the CCL are large and keep changing — hard to keep track of manually.
From product text to classification
Description & parameters
You enter the product description, technical parameters and optionally a CN code and destination.
Rule matching
Sanctinel finds candidate entries and checks thresholds and decontrol notes.
Suggestion with rationale
You get a disposition (listed / review / likely not listed) with ECN and catch-all hint — and confirm.
The goods lists that matter
EU Annex I
Dual-use regulation, EU goods list.
US CCL
Commerce Control List with ECCN.
Russia ban
EU-specific export bans (CHPI).
Catch-all
Hint for sensitive destinations and end uses.
Frequently asked questions
Is classification automatic?
No — assisted. Sanctinel provides a reasoned suggestion; you confirm the classification.
Which lists are checked?
EU Annex I, US CCL, EU-Russia export bans and military-goods categories.
Does it consider CN/HS codes?
Yes, as an additional signal alongside the text description and parameters.
Does this replace a BAFA ruling?
No. Sanctinel is an indication; binding rulings remain with BAFA.
