As well as destinations covered by existing general licences for dual-use goods (including EU member states, the United States, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and Canada), this OGEL permits exports to South Korea, Singapore, Chile and Uruguay, and British Overseas Territories. ##### The Dual-Use OGEL This new licence will make it easier for UK businesses to export to trusted partners, without the need to apply for individual licences for each shipment. Importers in new destinations will benefit from reduced delays and less administrative burden when sourcing goods from the UK. Covering items ranging from civilian aerospace components to academic research data, the licence will significantly facilitate trade and collaboration between key sectors across the globe. This licence replicates the conditions for 2 existing OGELs in a simplified format, while also expanding the destination scope. The additional destinations on this licence have arisen from a data-led review of historic licensing decisions, which shows that these exports are consistently approved and present low risk. The inclusion of additional destinations in the OGEL coverage for dual-use goods could save exporters from having to apply for more than 500 individual licences each year. That review continues, and new destinations may be added to the scope of the Dual-Use OGEL in future. The UK maintains strict export controls, and all exports remain subject to robust legal and security safeguards. By channelling lower risk exports to OGELs, we can focus our expertise on the remainder, ensuring robust oversight where risks are highest. The new Dual-Use OGEL is a consolidation of the [EU member states Dual-Use OGEL](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/open-general-export-licence-export-of-dual-use-items-to-eu-member-states) and the [General Export Authorisation (GEA)](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/eur/2009/428/annex/IIa) GEA001. Exporters who are registered for those OGELs should register to use this OGEL moving forward. ##### Before using this licence You must register through [SPIRE, the online export licensing system](https://www.spire.businessandtrade.gov.uk/spire/fox/espire/LOGIN/login) before using this licence. This includes stating where you will keep records of the exports or transfers, and where ECJU may inspect them. ##### Declaration requirements As outlined in [Notice to exporters 2026/13](https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/notice-to-exporters-202613-declaring-exports-under-ogels-and-geas-on-the-uks-customs-declarations-system), when exporters register to use OGELs or GEAs, they are given a unique licence reference in the following format: ‘GBOGE20XX/XXXXX’. For relevant exports, this code should be input into the UK’s Customs Declarations System (CDS), which includes a field where this licence reference can be entered. Including the licence reference on CDS will bring goods exports made under OGELs and GEAs into line with standard individual export licences (SIELs) and open individual export licence (OIELs). The roll-out of this requirement across all relevant OGELs aims to deliver data that will help us maintain the appropriate balance between transparency and administrative burden, while providing insight into OGEL usage and trends.
