Export Controls and Sanctions Restrictions

Medium severity
Share 𝕏 Share in Share 🔒 PDF

What it is

Ledger cannot ship its products to certain countries or individuals subject to international sanctions or export control laws, and by placing an order you confirm you are not on any restricted list.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are located in or connected to a sanctioned country or entity, your Ledger order may be cancelled and you may face legal consequences — this applies regardless of whether you were aware of the restriction at the time of purchase.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Customers in or connected to sanctioned jurisdictions (including certain countries or designated individuals) cannot legally receive Ledger products, and attempting to circumvent these restrictions carries serious legal risk for both the buyer and Ledger.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Export control and sanctions compliance for cryptographic hardware devices is governed by the US Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 CFR Parts 730-774), OFAC sanctions programs (31 CFR Parts 500-598), and EU dual-use regulations (EU Regulation 2021/821). Ledger hardware wallets may be classified as encryption items under EAR ECCN 5A002 or 5D002, requiring license review for export to certain jurisdictions. French export control law (Décret n°2019-1535) and EU Council Regulation 428/2009 also apply. Enforcement authority: US Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS), OFAC, EU member state export control authorities. (2)
