8. My company exports sophisticated electronic equipment and we wish to enter new markets. How can we find out whether our products will be subjec tto export controls?
The hard way is to go through all the regulations, which you doubtless already have and try to decide. But it is better to submit a detailed description of the equipment either to the local customs officer with whom you normally deal or direct to the Export Licensing Branch of the DTI: details are given in the general section of the Guide, pp. 35-7. Their decision is final anyway. It may be quite difficult to decide what controls apply to sophisticated electronic equipment, so you may be asked for further information before an answer can be given. The decision will include both the kind of licence, if any, required and a list of countries to which the goods may not be sent.
