SIEL Processing Times and Refusals by Destination (Quarterly Figures)

ECO publish quarterly figures on refusal percentages and processing times by destination of Standard Individual Export Licences. These figures were first published in January 2004. This is in addition to the Quarterly Report which details licences issued, refused and revoked by destination.

The information is presented in 2 parts:

1. The 1st part of this report shows the percentage of Standard Individual Export Licence (SIEL) applications refused by destination.
2. The 2nd part shows the percentage of applications completed within 20 working days by destination and the median number of days applications took to be processed for that destination.

The purpose of the tables is to give exporters a better idea of the likelihood of a licence being refused and of the time, by destination, an application is likely to take.
