Event now fully booked
The MAA is working in partnership with the Export Control Joint Unit in the Department for International Trade (and Aerospace Wales, the Farnborough Aerospace Consortium, the North West Aerospace Alliance and the West of England Aerospace Forum) to arrange this Export Control Symposium. This event will provide an overview of export control requirements including how to classify your exports and carry out appropriate due diligence throughout the supply chain.
Export licensing is not just a requirement for the military and defence industries. Aerospace, automotive, energy (oil, gas and nuclear), composites, electronics and computing, chemicals, biotechnology… all of these sectors can and do export items that need a licence.
