Six Dual Use OGELs were updated on the 31st of July 2023. 

Open general export licence (export after the exhibition: dual-use items)   


Open general export licence export after repair/replacement under warranty: dual-use items 


Open general export licence export for repair/replacement under warranty: dual-use items 


Open general export licence for low-value shipments 


Open general export licence technology for dual-use items 


Open general export licence (dual-use items: India) 


In each case, the text in relation to items located in Northern Ireland has been amended from “as it has effect by virtue of the Protocol on Ireland / Northern Ireland in the UK-EU Withdrawal Agreement” to “as it has effect by virtue of the Windsor Framework. 


We have seen new Dual Use Classifications, which were publicised in March (2D352 and 3D006) and earlier this month (8A002.o.4 and 9E003.k). There will be an update to the “Consolidated List” and “OGEL Checker” to reflect these new classifications in due course.   


There are instances of these new classifications being referenced in the OGEL revisions. 


For example, 9E003.k is now listed in the Export After Exhibition: Dual-Use Items and 2D352 is now listed in the Export After Repair / Replacement under Warranty. 


As with any OGEL, it is important to review the Terms and Conditions of the licence before proceeding to use the licence.

Halloween wasn’t just a marketing opportunity for this company, for Jasper & Veil Ltd.; it was peak season. Their custom ghoulish gift boxes were packed with ghost-shaped biscuits, spooky mugs, novelty sweets, and glow-in-the-dark clothing, and flew off the shelves faster than you could say “trick or treat.”

Export and import controls aren't just red tape…. They are serious! The penalties are real, and the ghosts of mistakes past are hard to banish. So this Halloween, double-check your HS codes, origin declarations, OGEL conditions, and valuation methods. Because nothing's scarier than the words: "You are under investigation."
