Downunder updates

Australia’s Defence Export Control Organisation (‘DECO’) has announced that the Defence and Strategic Goods List (‘DSGL’) has been updated (with effect from 28 March 2019.)

It said: ‘The DSGL 2019 includes a total of 70 notable amendments: 23 are changes which remove or reduce the requirement to obtain an approval prior to export; 13 of the amendments are either new controls or changes to existing controls that result in an expanded scope; and the remaining 34 amendments are clarifications that do not involve a scope change.’
