Dec 2011
- Transshipment permit no longer required for 5A2 and 5B2 (Dual use-strategic items);
- End Use Statement and Delivery Verification Statement replaced; and
- Bulk and multi-use transit permit introduced for strategic items.
Effective 1 December 2011, the Government made several rationalisations to Regulations 10, 11, 12 and 13 of the Strategic Trade Regulations 2011 (P.U. (A) 482/2010) that relate to export, transit, transshipment and special permits respectively.
The prescribed End Use Statement (Form 5) and Delivery Verification Statement (Form 6) were replaced entirely with new formats, and the provision of the latter to the Strategic Trade Secretariat is no longer mandatory ("other form acceptable" is sufficient, and only upon request when bulk or multi-use permits are used).
The changes also include introduction of bulk and multiple-use permits in relation to strategic goods brought into transit, where previously only single use permits could be granted. Unlisted goods transit permit is still restricted to single use, however.
