This full-day session focuses on a topic relevant to many industry sectors, dual-use regulations. With licences now required for dual-use items moving between the UK and EU, the need to understand this topic has grown significantly. The controls are based on an item’s inherent capability, type of materials or technical ability affecting many industry sectors, including chemical, metals, high-tech products, oil and gas industries, etc.
Dual-Use regulations affect many industry sectors, including chemical, metals, high-tech products, electronic, computer and software companies, oil and gas industries, measuring and testing equipment, etc. The controls are based on an item's inherent capability, type of materials or technical ability. This full-day session focuses on this very relevant topic, created to support the increased administration and licensing requirements of dual-use controlled items between the UK and the EU. It is an excellent review of the dual-use regulation, suitable as a refresher or an introduction to this often misunderstood area of export control regulations.
The key aims of this training session are to explain what is subject to dual-use controls and understand the different categories and sections of the regulations. It will examine how the category number – often known under its USA term: the Export Control Classification Number (ECCN) – is structured and how this helps us assess why these items have been added to this technological control list.
The training session will discuss the relevance of dual-use regulations in different industry sectors and how to undertake an internal review of current products and procedures.
It will outline the similarities and differences between dual-use regulations in three key markets: the UK, the EU and the USA. This section will illustrate how the different licensing system used in the USA means controlled items may be determined as No License Required (NLR) while still being controlled and assess the term EAR99 and why it is crucial purchasing/ procurement teams understand the implications when a business buys from the USA.
It will teach learners how to effectively select and use export licences and the recording and reporting requirements. Including information on the General Licences introduced in January 2021 to enable the movement of dual-use controlled goods between the UK and the EU, which became subject to full export licensing controls after the UK left the EU's customs union.
Throughout the day, knowledge checkers and discussion points will support the learning outcomes; all delegates are encouraged to participate and ask questions during the training. This ensures delegates are taking in the information and get the most out of attending an S&H Training Course.
Understand dual-use export controls and why items fall under these controls.
Learn how to read the dual-use list to establish if these controls capture your export items.
Comparison of UK controls with EU and USA (export administration regulation – ear) rules
Understand the link between the commodity code (tariff number) and the dual-use categories.
Understand the controls on software, technology, encryption and intangible supplies.
Focus on export licensing options for dual-use goods, technology and software and end-use checks.
After completing this session, delegates will understand what, and be able to review, company policies and procedures are required.

This session is relevant to different areas within a business, not just logistics and export control.
Procurement, contracts, project management, designers and engineers should know how seemingly standard goods, technology, or software can be controlled under these regulations. However, prior experience in this area is not essential for delegates.
Attendance is also recommended to supervisors and managers who will benefit from a deeper awareness of the tasks, responsibilities and controls that are required when dual-use controls affect business operations.
