Exhibitors should be aware that the promotion, procurement or brokering of any item on display at UDT may require the granting of an export control and/or import license or other permissions from relevant government authorities. The promotion of items classed as Category A under the UK Export Control Order 2008 is prohibited at all Clarion Defence & Security Events.
This restriction applies to all forms of promotion, including the distribution of brochures or other promotional material from your stand which features images or details of any Category A goods, even if your company does not intend to market these goods at the event.
Category A goods include:
- Goods banned by the EU because of evidence of their use in torture.
- Restraints specially designed for restraining human beings.
- Riot control or self-protection devices designed or modified to administer an electric shock.
- Hand held spiked batons
- Certain cluster munitions, explosive sub munitions including components
- Land mines, anti-personnel mines and anti-material cartridges (Land mines act 1998)
Note: Services in respect of the list of prohibited equipment are also prohibited.
If you are caught promoting Category A goods without a relevant export control and/or import license, you will be ejected from the event. UK companies or UK nationals involved in such activity may also face enforcement action from the relevant UK authorities.
