At 11pm on 31 December 2020 the transition periods ends and EU export control law ceases to apply in Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales).
EU regulations and directives relating to strategic export controls will continue to apply in Northern Ireland. This is as a result of the Northern Ireland Protocol which forms part of the Withdrawal Agreement between the UK and the EU.
The rules that will apply to controlled exports will depend on whether the items are exported from Great Britain or from Northern Ireland.
