Control List for Dual-Use Goods

A Control List for Dual-Use Goods is a regulated catalog of items that can be used for both civilian and military purposes, such as advanced technology or chemicals. Governments use these lists to monitor and control exports, preventing potentially harmful items from falling into the wrong hands or being used in activities like weapons development. The goal is to balance international trade with security concerns, ensuring that sensitive products are properly managed without unnecessarily restricting lawful commerce.
