Legal basis

Licence types

Controlled/temporary-controlled dual-use exports require a licence; catch-all circumstances can also trigger licensing for unlisted items. The regime supports single licences, qualifying general licences, and a registration/export-certificate route for specified situations. End-user/end-use proof is central.
