UK Export Controls

The UK Export Controls are a set of regulations designed to prevent the unauthorised export of goods, technology, or software from the UK, particularly those that could be used for military purposes or contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), human rights abuses, or international terrorism.

It is a criminal offence to export controlled items without the correct licence.
