UK Issues Guidance on Delays Surrounding Dual-Use Exports

Some United Kingdom exporters are experiencing border delays for shipments of dual-use items because the shipments had incorrect license references on their documentation, the U.K. said in a June 11 guidance. After registering for a license on SPIRE, exporters will receive a unique license registration number that should accompany their commercial documentation, the guidance said. If the correct license registration number isn't included, goods that require strategic export authorizations may be stopped by customs, it said.
