The Consolidated List
The UK Military List forms a part of the UK Strategic Export Control Lists which incorporate the Military List along with other controls on Dual-Use goods, torture goods and radioactive sources. You should check this list if your goods are likely to be listed in this document.
How is the List organised?
The Military List comprises a range of categories or entries which are commonly known as 'ratings'. These range from category ML1 to category ML22 and UK national controls classified under the codes 'PL'.
