Dutch Government Excludes Most ASML China Sales from Dual-Use Export Disclosures

ASML
September 21, 2025
The Dutch government has decided to exclude billions of euros of sales by ASML to China from disclosures on sensitive goods exports. This policy decision had not been previously reported. This exclusion pertains to the government's reporting on 'dual use' export data, which typically covers items that can have both civilian and military applications. The move clarifies the regulatory framework under which ASML operates in the Chinese market. The decision could impact how ASML's sales to China are perceived and regulated, potentially offering some operational flexibility or reducing certain reporting burdens for the company in a geopolitically sensitive region.
