OGEL (Historic Military Vehicles and Artillery Pieces)

Decide, and if appropriate, use this open general licence (OGL), which allows the export of specified controlled items by any exporter. Use of this OGL removes the need to apply for a Standard Individual Licence (SIEL). However, exporters must ensure all conditions are met and shipment and destinations are eligible. Exporters will be subject to appropriate Compliance checks.

Specific Conditions
