Export control
The legal regime governing the transfer of defence and dual-use items across borders.
Export control is the body of law and regulation governing how defence and dual-use goods, technology and services may be transferred between countries. It determines what can be sold, to whom, and under what conditions. Unstrat establishes the export-control position of a capability before representation, not after, so the handling, storage and documentation each destination market requires are confirmed up front.
How this shapes an engagement
Export control is not paperwork Unstrat handles at the end of a deal. It is the first question asked on any programme. Before a capability is represented to a defence or critical-infrastructure buyer, Unstrat establishes what may be transferred, to whom and under what conditions, so the handling, storage and documentation each destination requires are confirmed rather than discovered mid-programme. Getting this right up front protects the buyer from delay, from compliance exposure, and from the reputational cost of a transfer that later proves ungoverned. As the accountable single channel, Unstrat owns this position directly rather than relying on an intermediary's assurances. Localisation arrangements are scoped per programme, subject to export controls and end-use approvals, so the legal footing supports the mission rather than fighting it.
