Changes to OIEL Conditions - February 2008

NOTICES TO EXPORTERS - 2008/05

There have been a few changes to the way OIELs/OITCLs* are processed and issued under SPIRE, and the conditions that are added to these licences. All those using OIELs/OITCLs should be aware of the following:

  1. OIELs/OITCLs are issued to the registered company name and address as per the details found at Companies House.

  2. OIELs/OITCLs are still site specific – the permitted exporting site is found at the start of the schedule (usually page 5).

  3. Military and dual-use goods can now appear on the same OIEL and therefore one set of standard conditions will apply to these licences. Additional conditions are added as applicable.

  4. OIEL/OITCL conditions have changed. Some of the changes have been made for consistency with other licence conditions, others are new conditions.

  5. You should carefully read any OIELs/OITCLs that are issued to you on SPIRE in full. Notable changes to the conditions include:

    • Additional condition on exports of military goods for exhibition
    • Update to the consignee undertaking requirements, especially relating to Government consignees
    • Additional condition relating to Customs Free Zone.

  6. For further details of strategic export controls please contact ECO.

This notice is for information purposes only and has no force in law. Please note that where legal advice is required exporters should make their own arrangements.
