UK License System Includes New Section for When End-User Information Is Unclear
The U.K.'s Export Control Joint Unit launched a new "ultimate end-user screen" for exporters to complete when filling in license application details in its Licensing for International Trade (LITE) system.

Export Compliance Daily combines U.S. export control news, foreign border import regulation and policy developments into a single daily information service that reliably informs its trade professional readers about important current issues affecting their operations.
Exporters can select the country or countries "the items will go to if known," and they must "give any other information they can about the ultimate end-user or explain why they do not have any."
The U.K. agency said the new section will "assist in improving clarity and usability" when exporters share information about ultimate end users.
