The Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) co-locates DITâs Export Control Organisation (ECO) and the export licensing teams from the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO). ECO is the Governmentâs regulatory body for military and dual use exports and the Secretary of State for International Trade is responsible for decisions to grant or refuse export licences. MOD and FCO advise the Department for International Trade on specific aspects of the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria against which each licence application is assessed.
The MOD team in ECJU also manages the Form 680 process which controls the release by industry of equipment or information with a classification of Official-Sensitive or above, including in marketing campaigns, to foreign end-users.
