Introduction
The Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) has updated the open general export licence (OGEL) military goods: collaborative project Typhoon has been updated to include Turkey as a permitted destination.
An additional condition has been added to this OGEL requiring the licence reference in the form ‘GBOGE 20XX/XXXXX’ to be entered onto the UK’s customs declarations system.
Registration requirements
Exporters must ensure they are registered on SPIRE, ECJU’s export licensing system, for the updated OGELs. Existing registrations will carry over, but exporters should review conditions carefully.
