Business Overview

RegulationsThe transport of Dangerous Goods is strictly controlled by health and safety regulations of IATA – for

Air-, by IMDG -for Sea-, and ADR –by Road-.

All trades, and the relevant shipments related to Defence products and equipment, are regulated by the countries’ competent Authorities, which in most cases are mandatory. EUC stipulate and ensure compliance with NATO/U.N. guidelines, based on today’s fast changing geopolitical status.

Additionally, for trade of military hardware, in UK, each party must possess a licence issued by the Home office, under Section 5 of the Firearms Act, and the transfer cannot take place without such licence.

For explosive possession-handling and movements, even commercial, a specific licence to acquire and keep is required. These licences are difficult to obtain, requiring continuous and strict vetting and strict operating and reporting procedures approved by local constabulary and Home Office authorities.

For cross-trades, transactions originating and terminating outside UK, whilst each country has its own legislations and system of control, which, whilst may vary form those of the UK, retain rigorous measures of control. These, for most of the “Western Nations” are along the guidelines provided by the Int’l Agencies such as NATO and UN.
