A practical session to explain the information needed to apply for individual licences and how to understand when an open licence is appropriate for a particular movement or transfer of controlled items. This workshop is designed to teach delegates how to use the export licensing system in the UK.
Dual-use, military good, end user undertakings, and SPIRE/LITE, this course brings all this together in a practical session ideal for anyone wanting an appreciation of the topic. Also suitable for anyone wishing to refresh their knowledge of this complicated area.
The training session explains the use of export licences, the exporter's responsibility, what the Export Control Organisation (ECO) of the Department of Trade & Business does and how to ensure freight companies make correct declarations. It looks at the regulations and controls on both dual-use and military goods. It will discuss the relevance of dual-use regulations in different industry sectors and how to undertake an internal review of current products and procedures.
This interactive day will also cover completing export licence applications, internal procedures, and how to survive an export control audit. Reference will be made to how other EU countries administer export controls, outlining 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 essential that purchasing and 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. This includes 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. After completing this session, delegates will understand what, and be able to review, company policies and procedures are required.
