Introduction
Following notice to exporters 2020/10, relating to interim arrangements during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we are pleased to announce that we are resuming some pre-COVID case handling arrangements for export licence applications.
Reverting response times
During the pandemic, the response time for requests for information (RFI) was increased to 40 working days to allow extra time for exporters to gather their material. Effective from the publication of this notice, the response time for RFIs will revert to 20 working days, as was the arrangement pre-COVID.
