Consolidated list of strategic military and dual-use items that require export authorisation
Assess your goods, software and technology to determine whether or not they are controlled and require a licence to export.
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.
Use the online checker tools to establish:
- if your items are controlled
- the appropriate control entry reference in the consolidated list
- if an appropriate open general export licence (OGEL) exists
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
- associated technology and software
- goods that might be used for torture
- radioactive sources
Updates to the UK strategic export control lists
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
