Goods Ratings

Military List Goods

Most ratings related to the military list are relatively straight forward but many exporters still find difficulty with some areas of the controls.

ML5 is one such area where it is often difficult to know if the goods fall under this heading or say ML1, ML2 or even ML11.

Other pitfalls are the areas where the goods do not have to be specially designed or even modified for military use to be controlled by the ML.

The difficult area of ML22 Technology is it or is it not controlled, that is often the question?

I can take the guess work out of these and all other areas of the Military List, why worry when help is at hand.

Dual Use Goods

So many Categories, so many technical parameters and Notes to understand.

Do you understand all the decontrol Notes? There are many and could release your goods from control.

Are your goods in Annex IV, and if so what does this mean.

I can simply take you through all the procedures you need to go through, eliminating those goods which will not under normal circumstances require an export licence.
