BAFA
BAFA Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle
Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control
The BAFA is granting a license for exporting our induction coils (MFS), super high frequency triple (SHFT) and the fluxgates (FGS-03e)
Your Company
The license is granted for
your company AND your address
As a consequence we will ship all orders (also later orders) to excactly this address.
Also return / repair shipments will be made to exactly this address[1].
Warning
If you use a different shipment address make sure that this address is used when sending back equipment for repair!
Basically the BAFA checks the address the license was granted for.
Your Address
Take the official way to write your address:
Dr. Einstein
Institute of Geophysics
Main Street 123
Berlin SO 456
GERMANY
office +49 40 12345 22
mobile +49 172 678919
make it short; avoid:
Prof. of Honour Dr. Einstein
Berlin University
Institute of Geophysics (former Laplace Institute)
Block Z
Level 5
Main Street 123
Nearby Hospital
Berlin SO 456
Berlin county
GERMANY
office 0049 (0) 30-12345 (9) ext 22
mobile 0049 (0/1) +/- 172 678919
if something like “Block Z” is needed, it is ok.
We need an institute phone number well as a mobile phone number (which is important at the time of delivery).
Dual Use
Dual use hast to be read as “can be used for civil usage AND military use”
Therefor you must clearly mention for which purpose you want to use the coils!
All our offers contain the following information (as below). Simply spoken: if you get a license, the license is for you only. You can use the coils for the purpose as mentioned in the “end use certificate” below.
You also can make your exploration / scientific studies in other countries temporarily.
BUT you can not re-sell your coils to others! In that case you (or better the new owner) needs a new license from the BAFA! Contact us in case!
(that is easy to understand: you as “good company” purchase the coils … and then re-sell to a “bad company” … so the whole license procedure becomes useless, right?)

In case a BAFA license was granted for export (you successfully filled in the “end use certificate” or “statement of end-user and end-use“ or “İthal Şahadetnamesi” import form), you are obliged to provide us on request the “customs clearance / import form” (issued by your customs during import into your country). Metronix has to provide this document on request to BAFA, in order to proof the correct import into your country. If you are not able to submit us this important document on request, all consequences in the form of penalties, costs and so on are born by your side

Company Profile
The BAFA needs a so called “Company Profile”.
The company profile is a basic description of your company. It contains some basic information such as:
Write on your company paper (with letter head)
Company founded (year is enough)
Estimated empoyes / scientists
Company purpose ( … exploartion … science … education …?)
Company CEO / Director
Must be signed and stamped
in case you have:
Web url like www.mycompany.com
VAT number
Commercial Register
The company profile does not require any internal information about your company.
It is only used to clearly identify the client who receives the induction coils.
An example company profile
End Use Certificate (EUC)
also: statement of end-user and end-use
This document is utterly most important.
The BAFA licenses the export of our sensors against this document.
