EXPORT LICENCE » Shipping of goods to overseas customers
Exports sales make up over 90% of our core business and as such we are well versed in the processes involved in the shipping of vehicles and equipment round the world.
It is necessary for most exports to require an Export Licence as issued by BERR (Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform).
In particular it is necessary for customers purchasing ex. military vehicles to apply for an export licence being specific to the items being exported.
EXPORT LICENCE .... WHAT TO DO?
Firstly when applying for an export licence, customers need to complete what is called an End User Agreement.
Click to download blank End User Agreement Document
Once that has been completed simply submit it back to our office if we are applying for the licence on your behalf or submit it to BERR if you are applying independently for the licence.
The sequence of events is as follows:
- Enquiry is received in regards to Ex. Military Vehices and quote given
- Customer satisifed with quote and confirms intention to place order
- Customer advised that Export Licence required and recommendation made to submit an application which is a cost and commitment
free excerise i.e. it costs nothing to submit an application and an application does not mean an obligation to purchase from us.
- Customer completes End User letter and submits to our office who in turn submit with licence application to BERR.
- Customer places order
- Order complete for shipping at same time as Export License issued.
Export licence applications generally take between 3-6 weeks to be processed and approved.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Some countries are under an EU embargo and as such will not be granted an export licence unless it can be proven that the vehicles are for Humanitarian Aid Support e.g. UN Aid Work.
