‘Incorrect licence refs’ leading to UK export delays

The United Kingdom’s Export Control Joint Unit (‘ECJU’) says that it has been made aware by HM Revenue & Customs that ‘exporters are experiencing delays at UK borders with some shipments of controlled dual-use items that require strategic export authorisation.’

It says, ‘The delays relate to incorrect licence references on commercial documentation. If open general licences are to be used, the relevant conditions and requirements of each licence should be reviewed before use.’
