Prohibitions on the making available and transfer of unmanned aerial vehicle technology are extended to include other technology of strategic concern. Related prohibitions on the provision of technical assistance, financial services, funds and brokering services are also extended in relation to other goods of strategic concern and other technology of strategic concern.

New exceptions from the trade prohibitions on goods of strategic concern and technology of strategic concern are provided for, in relation to personal items and diplomatic missions, consular posts and international organisations. These regulations also address the application of article 20 of the Export Control Order 2008, regarding trade controls with respect to embargoed destinations.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for the Regulations as no, or no significant, impact is foreseen on the private, voluntary or public sectors in the United Kingdom. A de minimis assessment has been prepared as this instrument is likely to entail some costs for businesses, but the net impact is estimated to be below £10 million per year.
