DSEI CONNECT COMPLIANCE & ELIGABILITY

The promotion of items classed as Category A under the UK Export Control Order 2008 is prohibited on all Clarion Defence & Security platforms.

This restriction applies to all forms of promotion, including the distribution of brochures or other promotional material from your page or profile which features images or details of any Category A goods, even if your company does not intend to market these goods on the platform.

Category A goods include:

• Goods banned by the EU because of evidence of their use in torture.
• Restraints specially designed for restraining human beings - leg-irons, gang chains, shackles and individual cuffs or shackle bracelets except those that are ‘ordinary handcuffs.
• Portable devices designed or modified for the purpose of riot control or self-protection by the administration of an electric shock - such as electric-shock batons, electric-shock shields, stun-guns, and electric-shock dart-guns - components specially designed or modified for the aforementioned.
• Handheld spiked batons
• Cluster munitions, explosive sub-munitions
• Explosive bomblets specifically designed to be dispersed or released from dispensers affixed to aircraft.
•  Components specially designed for “cluster munitions”, “explosive submunitions” or “explosive bomblets”.
• 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 and valid Standard Individual Trade Control Licence (SITCL), which must be obtained from the Export Control Joint Unit by the exhibitor or agent, your content will be removed from the platform. UK companies or UK nationals involved in such activity may also face enforcement action from the relevant UK authorities.
