For the purposes of this Regulation:

The Secretary of State shall make arrangements for these deactivation measures to be verified ....

If no export declaration has been made, the exporter is the person who holds the contract with the consignee in the third country and has power for determining the sending of the item out of the United Kingdom to a destination outside of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man. If no export contract has been concluded or if the holder of the contract does not act on its own behalf, the exporter shall mean the person who has the power for determining the sending of the item out of the United Kingdom to a destination outside of the United Kingdom and the Isle of Man.
