Details
The UK Strategic Export Control Lists (known as the consolidated list) are compiled from 7 lists in various pieces of international legislation which set out what types of goods are controlled.
If your items are listed under a control list (rating) entry you need an export licence from the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU).
If your goods are not on the control lists, you may still need a licence under end-use controls. This applies where there are concerns over their use in a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programme.
Types of controlled goods
Broad categories are:
items specifically designed or modified for military use and their components
dual-use items that can be used for civil or military purposes
Updates to this list occur about twice a year. It is your responsibility to ensure that you:
are aware of all recent updates to the lists
check the latest version
take appropriate action to get a licence where necessary
