Put at its simplest, ‘Rating’ is the process of deciding whether a licence from the Export Control Organisation (ECO) is needed to export particular goods. For many products there will be little or no uncertainty, eg firearms, but others will need detailed consideration.
If you aren't sure whether a licence is needed you can send a rating enquiry to the ECO’s Technical Assessment Unit (TAU) asking them to rate your goods. The Rating Enquiry Advice Service is provided by the Government to assist exporters in making responsible exports.
The Rating Enquiry Form has been revised in December 2006
