Article summary

The Export Control (Amendment) Regulations 2025, SI 2025/532 has amended the Export Control Order 2008, SI 2008/3231 and Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009. The key changes include increasing fines for certain offences from £1,000 to £2,500, updating military goods and dual-use items lists to reflect technical updates from the Wassenaar Arrangement and other multilateral regimes and administrative amendments to control entries. These modifications ensure the UK's regulatory framework for strategic exports remains current with global export control standards. The regulations will take effect from 20 May 2025.
