Export control and import obligations

Principles

  • The export and import of many of our products, technologies and services are subject to control. It’s vital to our success that we comply with all applicable laws, regulations and procedures wherever we operate.

We will

  • Make sure we understand and act in accordance with the laws and regulations that apply to exports and imports. This includes those of other countries, when we are involved in any transfers;
  • Make sure we know about and do not contravene national and international sanctions and our own destination policies;
  • Not travel with a laptop or other device containing controlled technology unless we have authorisation from the Export Control team;
  • Not travel with products or spare parts unless we have authorisation to export the items from the Export Control team, and we have made the required customs import declarations; and
  • Be alert for suspicious enquiries from individuals, organisations or people acting on behalf of others who might be attempting to gain illicit access to our goods, software or technology.

What happens when…

No. We always work within import and export laws because breaching these laws could expose us to serious risks – it would undermine our credibility with the customer, might be a risk to national security and expose us to legal sanctions which would damage our reputation.

Start by preparing a detailed description of the transaction and talk it through with your local Export Point of Contact or experts in Export Controls, Security and Intellectual Property.
