The WaSP unit uses frequency hopping listed as 5A001.b.3.b in the Regulation (EU)
2021/821, setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and
transit of dual-use items. Units are subject to export control when exporting outside the
European union, according to national, EU and US law (ECCN 5A001.b.3.b),
see
https://policy.trade.ec.europa.eu/help-exporters-and-importers/exporting-dual-use-items_en.
In the case of export from the country where the units were delivered by
, the exporter must inform of the new country of delivery.
