Our Freelance Export Control Specialists handle the complete management of your export control processes —from classifying goods in accordance with the EC Dual-Use Regulation and ECCN, through sanctions list screening, to applying for export licenses with BAFA and other authorities. They create robust export control manuals, conduct internal audits, and document compliance records that will stand up to a government audit. For companies with international supply operations, this expertise is not a “nice-to-have” but a regulatory requirement with direct liability implications.
Typically, companies turn to our export control specialists when a new product portfolio needs to be assessed for dual-use relevance, when sanctions are tightened—for example, against Russia, Iran, or China—put pressure on existing supply chains, or when an impending government audit creates an immediate need for action. In these situations in particular, every day counts: Missing licenses or incomplete documentation can result in delivery suspensions, fines, and criminal consequences.

We identify precisely which goods, markets, and sanctions regimes are relevant to your company, which licensing procedures are currently underway or pending, and which compliance gaps need to be addressed. In doing so, we also determine whether U.S. reexport controls, ITAR-related issues, or specific country restrictions expand the scope. In this way, we work together to define the exact role specification for your export control specialist.
Based on your role specification, we carefully match our verified export control specialists—taking into account industry experience, licensing history, contacts with regulatory agencies, and availability. You’ll receive suitable recommendations within 24–36 hours, ensuring that critical regulatory deadlines are not missed.
What matters to us isn’t the number of classifications we’ve processed, but whether your export processes are ultimately legally compliant, audit-ready, and running smoothly from an operational standpoint. Our export control specialists’ profiles deliver results that stand up to a BAFA audit—and leave behind structures that your team can maintain on its own.

You’ll receive a curated selection of suitable candidates within 24–36 hours. To do this, we review availability, experience with goods classification, screening, end-use, and licensing, as well as relevant industry and product expertise. We then coordinate the interviews and provide profiles with clear areas of expertise and specific project examples.
First, we clarify your needs in a structured manner: product portfolio, target countries, customer types, tools/ERP, responsibilities, and desired decision-making authority. We then match our profiles by subject area (e.g., dual-use, embargoes, licenses, ICP) and by role type (operational, setup, system implementation). You’ll receive a shortlist with clear rationale so you can make a quick decision.
During the pre-selection process, we assess core competencies: classification and determination of licensing requirements, sanctions list/embargo logic, end-use, and documentation quality. In addition, we evaluate tool and ERP experience, because many errors stem from regulations, master data, or unclear workflows. This ensures that you work consistently, verifiably, and practically with our profiles.
Success is measured by turnaround times (e.g., processing of hits, classification, approval cases), the backlog of open tasks, and the rate of fully documented decisions. In many projects, fewer delivery blockers, fewer escalations, and more stable approvals are also clear indicators. With our profiles, you define a concise set of KPIs at the outset and track them through pragmatic weekly reporting.
At the outset, the setup is documented in a concise plan: products, technology components, target countries, customer clusters, existing controls, and relevant systems and repositories. At the same time, a well-organized knowledge base is created, including justifications, audit trails, templates, and process descriptions. With our profiles, expertise remains audit-ready within the company and is immediately usable by successors.
The daily rate ranges from €800 to €1,200 and depends on seniority, scope of responsibility, and project duration. Key factors typically include the complexity of classification, the proportion of embargoes and licenses, the number of target countries, and responsibility for tools and ERP systems. With our profiles, you’ll receive a clear assessment upfront of which level makes sense for your target state.
Yes, the focus is often on the ability to provide rapid evidence: decision-making processes, screening protocols, classification documents, and approvals must be available without any gaps. Our experts prioritize relevant cases, fill in documentation gaps, and structure the rationale for internal and external stakeholders. This helps you reduce follow-up questions, subsequent effort, and operational disruptions.
