The ECJU have published their long-awaited face-to-face training schedule for DIT training courses - dates from September to December 2021.

The ECJU adapted to the UK business need for a training programme during the restrictive Covid period by the release of interactive webinars. The webinars are on-going and free to attend. Recordings are also available and worth a watch, particularly if you consider that your exports could fall under the dual use or end use controls.

Some UK exporters (particularly engineering manufacturers) are finding that their agents are requesting confirmation of a licence requirement when making the customs entry on their behalf. 
Exported goods can very easily be captured on the Strategic Export Control Lists because of their capability or end use, rather than military goods for example, that are captured due to their design intent, or because they have been adapted for military purpose.

If your business in involved in the international movement of controlled goods, the ECJU will require evidence of a company export control training schedule at audit. The DIT courses are the formal place to start. Strong and Herd will enable putting this formal training into robust working practice.
