Import Licensing Branch (ILB)
ILB issues import licences mainly to implement DTI’s trade
policy measures and covers textiles, iron & steel, ceramics
and footwear. It
also controls the importation of firearms and nuclear materials
and a number of goods controlled on an international basis
such as anti-personnel mines.
Textile quota utilisation statistics
Information on export administered textile quotas that are
over 80% utilised can be found here
(87kb) but full details on quota utilisation for textiles
can be found on the SIGL
website.
The following information on the work of ILB is available
from this site.
ILB publicises its restrictions by issuing Notices to Importers.
Notices covering the current and most popular restrictions
are available by clicking Notices to Importers at the top
of this page. Notices
no longer current are available directly from ILB.
The forms needed to apply for an import licence can be accessed
on a separate page by clicking Forms at the top of this
page. As an original signature is needed or in some
cases original supporting documents it is not possible to
electronically return applications to ILB.
