UNITED ARAB EMIRATES EXPORT CONTROL INFORMATION

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) requires authorization for imports and exports of all items subject to the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and the Wassenaar Arrangement. In addition, consent is required for the transit/transhipment of Nuclear Suppliers Group-controlled items. These requirements apply equally in the free trade zones. The UAE licensing authority for nuclear-related items is the Federal Authority for Nuclear Regulation (FANR). The UAE licensing authority for military items is the Ministry of Defence. The licensing authority for other strategic goods and dual-use chemicals is the Committee for Goods & Materials Subjected to Import and Export Control, also known as the Export Control Executive Office (ECEO).
