My company has been asked to provide our 'Number of the German export list or negative statement'. I have found numerous references to the German Export List (AL) online but have not been able to find the actual list in order to determine either way. :truce:

Would anyone be able to help point me in the right direction?

Germany controls illegal exports with various laws, one of which is the Foreign Trade Regulation (acronym in German, AWV).

The Export List (AL) is an appendix to the AWV.

Part I of the Export List enumerates weapons, ammunition, and armament material in Section A, and other controlled products in Section B.

If the item you wish to export from Germany is listed in the AWV, you will provide its number. If it is not, you will respond in the negative.

My suggestion would be that if you are dealing with materials that may be subject to the AWV, you probably should have a lawyer involved, who will be able to work with the latest versions of the lists involved and will understand the relevant definitions and exceptions.

Note that there are a number of other export control laws (the Foreign Trade Law [AWG], the Weapons of War Control Law [KWKG], etc.) that intermesh, and compliance is legally complicated if the exported materials may be interpreted to be of a controlled nature.

Thank you so much! My company manufactures a non-invasive medical device that can only be used in conjunction with a MRI machine so I am pretty sure our product would not apply. I have not been able to locate a copy of the Appendix online to officially determine. Would you happen to know whether it is available online?

The AWV is here in German. I don't know of anyplace it's online in English.

Regarding your intended use for your product, note that German law extends to prohibited non-intended alternate uses of items, including mere parts and subassemblies, and claimed lack of knowledge of the alternate use or the eventual recipient's intent is not an allowed defense.

My understanding is that changes occur to the AWV, and I cannot assure that this is current.

Again, I recommend that a lawyer answer such questions.
