Embargo and trade control regulations


Various national and international trade laws restrict or prohibit the import, export or domestic trade of goods, technologies or services, the dealing with specific products as well as capital and payment transactions (embargo). These restrictions and prohibitions may depend on the nature of the goods, the country of origin or end-use, or on the identity of the customer.

The provisions of the Foreign Trade and Payments Law, the E.U. regulations on dual-use items and for combating terrorism, the Chemical Weapons Convention, as well as the regulations concerning trafficking and dealing in narcotics, psychotropic substances or addictive substances and their basic materials and precursors are of particular importance to our company. All employees must comply with the control regulations when buying, producing or marketing goods or when transferring or acquiring technology. Necessary permits from the relevant authorities as well as end-use declarations legally prescribed or voluntarily required by BASF have to be obtained prior to dispatch or export. Certain products must be kept under lock and key.

The rules of the Trade Control Manual must be adhered to.
