Before your sales team quotes the deal, we confirm it can ship.
Dual-use, DG-classified, sanctions-proximate hardware doesn't ship on intention. We define what's legally shippable, engineer the execution path, and prove compliance at every border — across drones, robotics, photonics, quantum hardware, space systems, and biotech instrumentation.
FlowSpex is a Swiss export operations partner for European deep-tech SMEs.
Built from 20+ years of controlled export execution. We define what's legally shippable, engineer the execution path, and prove compliance at every border.
The name on the file is a person, not a model.
Built on 20+ years of Swiss export operations.
Our founding team has run controlled exports — dual-use, DG-classified, sanctions-proximate — for institutional customers including safeguards authorities, defense ministries, and national research laboratories.
Who we work with.
- European deep-tech SMEs, 10–50 FTE
- Shipping 10–200 controlled units a year
- Drones, Robotics, photonics, quantum hardware, space systems, biotech instrumentation
- Selling into government, institutional, and regulated-industry customers
- Pre-revenue R&D teams (too early — come back when you're shipping)
- 50+ FTE exporters (unless you don't have an in-house export team)
- Consumer-grade hardware with no dual-use exposure
- US-domiciled exporters (we're Swiss & EU-native on purpose)
Connected to every decision that determines whether hardware can move.
FlowSpex links classification, licensing logic, documentation, forwarders, and customs handoffs into one engineered execution path—so export control isn’t discovered at the loading dock.
Predictable cross-border execution is engineered.
Before sales quotes or closes—and before any forwarder prices the move—we define what’s legally shippable and design the execution path.
Define the legal envelope
1. Classification triage (CH/EU/US where applicable)
2. End-use / end-user risk flags
3. What is shippable now vs what requires licensing
* Output: a one-page “Go / No-go + requirements” brief
Engineer the shipment pathway
1. Documentation logic (EUC, consignee, CI/PL/COO, Incoterms)
2. DG/batteries requirements aligned to the carrier
3. Roles & handoffs (shipper / consignee / importer / forwarder)
* Output: an execution plan your forwarder can run
Prove compliance at the border
1. Evidence pack for export + import clearance
2. Decision log: confirmed vs pending items
3. Reusable template set for repeat corridors
* Output: an audit-ready dossier that survives scrutiny
Example: CH robotics team → UAE trade show • dual-use drone • license + DG cleared inside an 8-week window.
Stop improvising. Start engineering your exports.
Compliance shouldn't be a last-minute scramble. Tell us about your hardware and where it needs to go — we'll design the operational framework.
