Controlling the export of weapons

It is vital to control the movement of materials, technology and expertise connected with weapons of mass destruction.

The UK is a strong supporter of effective control regimes and we're working to raise the standard of export controls around the world.

The UK and Brazil are members of various international export control regimes, including:

The UK is also a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) and the Australia Group (AG).

Strategic export control reports

Quarterly reports are produced on export licensing decisions by the UK Government.

They include details of export licences issued, refused or revoked for the transfer of tangible and/or intangible items, and trade control export licences issued, refused or revoked for the source countries.
