On October 4th, 2022, S&H provided an update relating to Notice to Exporters update 2022/25.

This communication referenced 26 x OGELs that previously withdrew Saudi Arabia and its coalition partners as acceptable destinations due to their involvement in the Yemen war, highlighting the fact that the parallel licences which were created for new OGEL registrations (excluding the withdrawn destinations) were to be revoked on December 30th, 2022.

 

The Export Control Joint Unit has confirmed the relevant licences that Exporters should register for on SPIRE, to replace the revoked licence(s).   

 

If your registered OGELs have “from June 2019”, “from December 2019” or “from February 2020” in their title they will appear below in the list of licences where the registration has been reinstated.

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."
