Version 2026-10, dated 15 October 2026. AKDronix is a brand of A&K Worldwide Enterprises FZCO. Drones, sensors and robots can be misused. This policy explains how we review inquiries and orders and what we expect from buyers. It is a company policy and does not replace advice on the law of any country.
Civilian commercial use only
We supply only verified business customers for lawful civilian commercial and professional applications. We do not supply for private or hobby use, for weapons or weaponisation, for military or combat-related purposes, for purposes connected with weapons of mass destruction, for terrorism, for unlawful surveillance or human-rights violations, or to circumvent sanctions or export controls.
Legal framework
- United Arab Emirates: Federal Decree-Law No. 43 of 2021 on commodities subject to non-proliferation, Cabinet Decision No. 97 of 2024 and the UAE control lists, administered by the Executive Office for Control and Non-Proliferation (EOCN). Products, software, technology and components can be controlled even when the buyer is civilian.
- United Nations Security Council sanctions and the UAE Local Terrorist List.
- Rules of other countries where a transaction has a connection to them, for example the export rules of the country of manufacture, or EU rules when goods are supplied to or re-exported from the European Union.
In addition, as a voluntary company policy, we do not supply products to Russia, Belarus or comprehensively embargoed destinations, regardless of whether a law of another country applies.
Our review before an order is accepted
- Business verification: company documents, registered address and the authority of the person placing the order.
- Destination and end use: delivery country, end-use country and the intended civilian application, which must be plausible for the buyer's business.
- Product classification: each model and configuration is assessed against the applicable control lists, taking into account its technical data, origin, destination, recipient and end use.
- Permits: where a permit is required, the order is accepted only after it has been granted.
Long endurance, long range, thermal or other electro-optical sensors, heavy payloads and docking systems are indicators we look at closely. They are internal review criteria, not legal thresholds.
End-user statement
For products, configurations or destinations where our review requires it, we ask for a signed end-user statement before the contract is accepted. It names the end user, end use and location and contains undertakings on civilian use and re-export. A template is available for download. We do not ask for identity documents in the first contact form.
When we decline or suspend
- information is false or incomplete, or the end use is unclear;
- there are signs of diversion, such as unexplained intermediaries, unusual routing or requests to split shipments;
- the buyer asks for modifications to carry harmful payloads or to remove identification or safety functions;
- a required approval is missing.
Your obligations in your country
Owning and operating drones and robots is regulated in most countries. Points to check before import and use:
- United Arab Emirates: product requirements under the UAE Scheme for Drone Products and Systems (Cabinet Resolution No. 110 of 2023), including the documents issued by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) for the specific model; TDRA type approval for radio equipment; registration with the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and, where applicable, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), and the specific approvals for each operation. Check current NOTAMs, security instructions and temporary restrictions before every flight.
- European Union: Regulations (EU) 2019/945 and 2019/947, product, radio and machinery rules, and the rules of the member state where the drone is placed on the market and operated. The operating category does not exempt a product from product requirements.
- Agricultural spraying: aviation, environmental and plant-protection rules of the country of use.
- Humanoid robots: electrical, radio, battery and machinery safety rules, safe integration and supervised operation.
Re-export
Buyers must not re-export or transfer products in breach of applicable law or of this policy and must pass these obligations on to their customers.
