CEFTA

What is the purpose of an export license?

An export license serves several important functions, including: 

  • Enabling the government to monitor and track the type and volume of goods being exported; and 
  • Enabling the government to control trade in restricted products such as precious gemstones like diamonds under the Kimberley Process, and endangered wildlife species under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora; and 
  • Ensuring that the handling and management of sensitive or potentially hazardous materials during export are carried out safely and responsibly.
