Written question asked by Suella Braverman (Reform UK) on Tuesday, 17 March 2026, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 19 March 2026. It was answered by Chris Bryant (Labour) on Friday, 20 March 2026 on behalf of the Department for Business and Trade.
Export Control Joint Unit
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Export Control Joint Unit has been involved in the clearance of the consignments under DHL tracking number 6480575743 and UPS tracking number 1ZE461190495384661; and what steps the Department is taking to ensure that specialist engineering exports are not subject to disproportionate or unexplained delays at the border.
- Answer
-
Unfortunately, these commercial tracking numbers do not enable us to identify the relevant export or the relevant border.
On the general point, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) informs exporters when their items are stopped at the border. If required, HMRC seeks advice from the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) about the licensing requirements and, to minimise costs and delays to exporters, ECJU prioritises such cases.
