Conclusion
We do not envisage a UK post-shipment system as replacing the need for stringent checks and robust application of the licensing criteria at the application stage. Rather such a system should be seen as complementary to the pre-licence checks and equally important as even with the best pre-licence systems, there will be cases where diversion occurs and exported items are obtained by illicit end-users after their export.
