The Department for International Trade has published a new open general export licence (OGEL): export of dual-use items to EU member states.

The government’s guidance on exporting controlled goods explains that should the UK leave the EU without a deal, licences will be required to export dual-use items to EU member states. Licences are not currently required to export these items within the EU.

The purpose of this OGEL is to allow, subject to certain conditions, the export of dual-use items (with both a civilian and military application) from the UK to EU member states and the Channel Islands after the UK leaves the European Union.

Before using this licence, you must register through SPIRE, the export control joint unit’s (ECJU’s) electronic licensing system, stating where you will keep records of exports or transfers and where the ECJU may inspect them.

In-force date

This licence will come into force after the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
