On 21st June, Notice to Exporters 2018/15 notified that the Export Control Joint Unit control list classification service will re-open for use on 25th June. The service has been suspended since June 2014 for operational reasons. However, assessments against goods within sanction lists will not be available and if you wish to export to a country with restrictive measures (sanctions) legislation in force, one would need to consider the legislation carefully, seeking independent legal advice as required. Available through the online SPIRE system, the service offers assessment of goods against the UK strategic export control list.
