UK Clarifies Export Licensing Arrangements During Brexit Transition Period

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Trade clarified that current export licensing arrangements will continue to apply until the end of the Brexit transition period on Dec. 31, the DIT said in a Jan. 29 notice. This includes exports of “strategic items,” military items, firearms, dual-use items and more, the DIT said. The U.K.’s open general export license for dual-use exports to the European Union is not required to export dual-use items to the EU during the transition period, the notice said.
