Abstract - DATASET: The Export Control Handbook for Chemicals contains a large list of chemicals subject to export controls (restrictions, or prohibitions under sanctions) because of their inclusion in various EU regulations or the Chemical Weapons Convention treaty. Each chemical is correlated with other data of interest, besides its chemical name: CAS number, reference codes, EU legislation of reference and the 8 digits code (CN code) used for Customs declaration purposes. All together, the handbook allows the users to orient themselves among the collection of export regulations in force, limiting the risk of mistakes and penalties
