Goods covered by export restrictions
To get authorisation to export goods covered by export restrictions, please contact the responsible authority. There may also be sanctions imposed on certain countries, in the form of trade restrictions on particular goods. However, in certain cases you might still get permission to export such goods. To do so, you need an export licence. In Sweden, the National Board of Trade and the Inspectorate of strategic products are responsible for these permits.
