Export license/authorization for dual-use goods from the competent Qatari authority, once the device is classified as dual-use. This is based on the technical classification, customs tariff code, and the end user. Regulatory/health approvals depending on the type of medical device, if it is subject to sector-specific requirements. Qatar export customs procedures, including the export declaration and customs clearance. Compliance with United Nations sanctions: screening all parties involved (buyer, end user, intermediaries, banks, and shipping companies), checking designation lists, ensuring there is no prohibition on the goods or the recipient, and complying with Qatar’s mechanisms for implementing UN sanctions (Ministry of Commerce and Industry). End-User Certificate and End-Use / Non-Diversion Undertaking are typically required. If the devices or their components are of foreign origin and subject to the export controls of the country of origin, a re-export license from the country of origin may be required (as is the case with dual-use controls in some situations). Where a humanitarian exemption is required under a specific sanctions regime (depending on the country or sanctions committee), an authorization or exemption request may need to be submitted to the relevant UN sanctions committee in accordance with the applicable UN procedures.
