EU Export Controls
Sophos products are subject the EU Dual Use export control regime
governed by Regulation (EC) No 428/2009. EU export controls require an
export authorization for the export from the EU of the dual-use items
listed in the EU Control List, in Annex I to the Regulation.
The export from the EU of certain Sophos products may require the completion of an End User declaration.
US Export Controls
Many Sophos products are subject to the US Export Administration
Regulations (“EAR”) and must comply with US export control
requirements. Any person or entity exporting or re-exporting Sophos
products directly or indirectly and via any means, including
electronic transfer, is wholly responsible for doing so in accordance
with the EAR and any other applicable export controls.
The U.S.
government regulates exports, including deemed exports (i.e.,
releasing controlled technology to a non-U.S. national in the United
States), re-exports, including deemed re-exports (i.e., releasing
controlled technology outside the United States to a national of a
third country), and transfers of U.S.-origin goods, software,
technology, technical data (collectively, "Items"), non-U.S. Items
that incorporate certain amounts or types of U.S.-origin content, and
the exporting activities of U.S. persons, including individuals and
companies. These export controls apply to a wide range of Items that
are transported out of the United States, moved between foreign
countries (re-exported), or moved within a foreign country
(transferred). The EAR set forth export restrictions on a wide variety
of goods, software, and technologies listed in the Commerce Control
List, as well as restrictions relating to Items that are not
specifically described on the Commerce Control List.

civilian and commercial end users located in all territories, except
embargoed destinations and countries designated as supporting
