Introduction
As part of the effort to reduce the number of queries on Ultimate End Users (including Unknown UEU), there have been ongoing DBT enhancements to the Exporter journey in the LITE application form. DBT have introduced a new section that will assist in improving clarity and usability when completing the Ultimate End User(s) section as and when required in application(s).
New ultimate end-user screen
There is a new screen for exporters to fill in. It is for situations when details of ultimate end-users are not or partly known, for example when a product is onward exported and held in stock.
- The new screen is called ‘Details of possible ultimate end users’.
- Exporters can select the country the items will go to if known. They can select more than one country.
- Exporters must give any other information they can about the ultimate end-user or explain why they do not have any.
