UK Updates Import Control Guidance, Open License

The United Kingdom’s Department for International Trade updated its import controls guidance with a new open general license and an explanatory note on its use and a notice to importers, according to an April 28 notice. The license “permits the importation of all goods into the United Kingdom, subject to the various exceptions it sets out,” the U.K. said, including restrictions on imports of certain toxic chemicals, nuclear materials, “prohibited munitions” and more.
