Internal Control System

ICS is a set of procedures that need to be followed by all companies trading in dual-use goods. From management perspective the internal control system operates as an instrument safeguarding the company against actions non-compliant with national requirements concerning trade control and international obligations in this scope. This system is a part of a broader system connecting Polish enterprises, Polish government institutions and international organisations setting the rules and principles of trade in weaponry, military equipment and dual-use goods and technologies. All these elements work together to increase international security.

Dual-use goods

These are goods that, despite being designed by the manufacturer for civil purposes, may be used by their users also for military purposes, e.g. for the construction, manufacturing or research and development of weapons of mass destruction or modern conventional weapons. The list of such goods is published by the Council of the EC in the form of Regulation (currently Regulation 428/2009). International trade in this group of goods is subject to additional control of special services in all countries being signatories of the Wassenaar Arrangement. In the IT sector dual-use goods include, among other things, devices and software with cryptographic functions.

 Sales of dual-use goods

The import or intra-Union transfer into the territory of the Republic of Poland of dual-use goods used in the ICT sector or for information protection is monitored by the monitoring authority (ABW – Internal Security Agency). As an importer, Exclusive Networks Poland is obliged to report the intention of import or intra-Union transfer that should include, among other things:

  1. indication of the end user, registered office and address;
  2. indication of goods that are to be the subject of import, their description, quantity and value;
  3. information about the manner of use of the goods by the end user;
  4. indication of the country of final destination;
  5. statement that a natural or legal person will undertake necessary actions for the goods referred to in the report to reach the end user.

In view of the foregoing it is necessary to provide the original statement of the recipient (dealer) of dual-use goods.
