ISP

The Swedish Inspectorate of Strategic Products (ISP) is a government agency whose work concerns Sweden’s defence, security and foreign policy. It administers and provides information on rules governing military equipment and products with dual-use applications, which can serve both civilian and military purposes. Its responsibilities also include foreign direct investment screening, international sanctions and the Chemical Weapons Convention.

ISP supports businesses, researchers and other affected parties with guidance on applicable regulations, application forms and templates, statistics, and information about export controls and investment reviews. Its website offers resources for exporters of military and dual-use products, as well as guidance for research and academia on research security and activities that may require authorisation. It also provides information about sanctions, including those relating to Russia, and civilian firearms exports.

The agency publishes news and updates, holds information sessions on regulatory changes, and provides contact details for enquiries and press matters. Based in Solna, ISP also offers access to a customer web service and information in English.
