UK Imposes Penalty for Unlicensed Exports From Third Country That Involved UK National

The United Kingdom’s HM Revenue & Customs recently imposed a £10,234.26 ($13,209.41) penalty on a U.K. exporter for unlicensed trading of body armor, it said in a notice to exporters. “The goods were not exported from the UK, but the transaction involved a UK national,” it said. “The Export Control Order 2008 requires a trade control licence when certain goods are exported from a country other than the UK.”
