  • Trade - the trade controls - i.e. trafficking and brokering - covering both the goods and the activities specified.
  • End-use controls - the WMD (Catch-all) and military end-use controls.
  • Licence Types and the Licensing Process - the different types of licence, common pitfalls when completing a licence application and how decisions are reached on whether to issue or refuse a licence.
  • Compliance - why we have compliance visits; what to expect on a compliance visit.
  • Concluding remarks including staff training - addressing export control; ideas on how to approach staff training and why it is important; why things go wrong and the consequences.

 

Key Benefits

Upon completion attendees should understand how the controls apply to their exporting and trade activities, and have a better working knowledge of if/where their items are controlled on the lists and which type of licence can be used.

Note

Although beginnners and intermediate events are held on consecutive days we do not recommend attendance at both as the material covered is similar and there is a necessary degree of repetition.  The intermediate course covers the same information as the beginners but goes into more detail on each topic.
