Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations remove the exemption contained in the Dual-Use and Related Goods (Export Control) Regulations 1996 for aircraft and vessels exported after temporary import, and make a consequential amendment in respect of scheduled journeys.
They also remove from Schedule 2 to those Regulations superfluous references to Group 1 of Part III of Schedule 1 to the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1994 (Part III is no longer divided into Groups), exclude from entry 9A990 (aircraft) in that Schedule 2 any aircraft specified in entry ML10 in Part III of Schedule 1 to that 1994 Order and correct entry 9A991 (microlight aircraft and steerable parachutes) in that Schedule 2 by changing “not more than 390 kg” to “less than 390 kg”.
