The European Union has updated its dual-use export control list (Annex I) for 2026, introducing new licensing requirements for advanced technologies including semiconductor manufacturing equipment, computing integrated circuits, and additive manufacturing systems. These changes, aligned with multilateral export control regime decisions, will extend to Norway through corresponding updates to its national export control regulations, requiring companies to reassess their product classifications and compliance

On 14 September 2026, the European Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation updating the EU dual-use export control list in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2021/821. The update widens the range of technologies that require an export licence before they can leave the EU, and a corresponding update is expected in Norway. 

Annex I is the common EU list of goods, technology and services that require an export licence because they can be used for both civilian and military purposes ("dual-use" items). It is organised into ten categories, from nuclear materials and electronics to sensors, navigation, marine and aerospace technology, with each category broken down into more specific entries (for example, 6A001 for certain acoustic systems).
