Dear Sir,
I refer to the consignment of xxxxx which was detained at xxxxx on xxxx, we must advise you that these goods have been rated as ‘Licence Required’ (Insert rating here), It may be possible to export some of the goods under the OGEL (Export of Dual-use items to EU Member States) provided that all the terms and conditions contained therein are fulfilled and complied with.
With effect from 1 January 2021 an export licence is needed if dual-use items are being exported from the UK to the EU or the Channel Islands, issued by the UK
If you are not yet registered to use the licence the goods will still be released for export. Please note, you now have 30 days from the date of this letter to register for the licence. This can be applied for and used following registration on SPIRE, the online export licensing system.
Export licence enquiries should be directed to the Department for International Trade at the following address:

If you do not register for the OGEL within 30 days and subsequently present goods for export under the licence, you may become liable to proceedings under Section 68(1) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979.
Yours faithfully
