Do you want to become an expert in export compliance?

The world around us is changing which impact the ways we do business. There is an increasing protectionism from the superpowers, almost like a trade war, creating trade barriers on technologies and business relations that can be used for espionage and terrorism.
Civil products that can be used for military purposes are called dual-use products. Our global Export Control team secures that the Volvo Group have compliant and effective tools to trade with sensitive items, both military and dual use. We work across the Volvo Group and support all Truck Divisions and Business Areas.
