Background Notes:

This list is compiled and published by the Export Control Organisation (ECO), identifying certain entities, companies and organisations in Iran.

It is intended to help traders judge which of their exports might potentially be of concern on end- use grounds, based on the ECO’s previous decisions regarding exports, or proposed exports, to each entity, company or organisation.

This information may be factored into business planning, to help traders make informed decisions on whether or not to contact the ECO and apply for a licence for specific exports.

The list may be amended from time to time and should be checked regularly if you are planning business with Iran. Also, on 21 November 2011, the Chancellor announced a significant tightening of UK financial sanctions on Iran. Traders should consult HM Treasury regarding financial restrictions.

Please note the following important points in relation to the information given in the list:

1. Further details about the military and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) end-use controls, details of current sanctions and arms embargo in place on Iran and other practical guidance for businesses about export controls on military and dual-use goods is available from the Export Control Organisation website.

2. The entities included on the list are mainly based on the ECO experience of either invoking the WMD end-use control or refusing licences due to unacceptable risks of diversion to a WMD programme of concern.

3. Entities and organisations are also included where they have been named in licence applications that have been refused in line with the provisions of Council Regulation (EU) 961/2010 of 25 October 2010, or in line with the United Kingdom written ministerial statement issued on 9 November 2010.

4. In addition, there are other entities included in the list, for whom we may not have received applications or enquiries in which to invoke the End-Use Controls or refuse a licences, but for whom there is publicly available information indicating their involvement in WMD programmes of concern.

5. Article 6 of the Export Control Order 2008 concerns persons having grounds for suspecting that an export is or may be intended for WMD purposes.

6. Inclusion of an entity on the BIS Iran List does not necessarily indicate that an export licence would be refused. Conversely non-inclusion of an entity on the list does not necessarily mean that ECO would have no end-use concerns with exports to that entity.

7. Checking against the list cannot ever be regarded as a substitute for a case-by-case assessment by the ECO in a licence application, including identifying the items to be exported, end-user undertaking, entities involved and other circumstances and information available at the time of application.

8. Entities on the list may give cause for concern whatever their involvement in an export transaction may be. This includes being end-users, consignees and third parties.

9. You can find further details about making export and trade licence applications and ECO advisory services on the GOV.UK website.

10.The inclusion of an entity on the list does not constitute an exporter being “informed” under Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 (end-use controls).Therefore, inclusion on the list does not indicate that a licence must always be applied for under the WMD end-use control, for exports to that entity, company or organisation.

11.Publication of this list in no way invalidates any existing licences that specifically permit an export to an entity on the list.

12.The BIS Iran List includes but is not routinely updated with all sanctioned Iranian entities. You should refer to the guidance and consolidated list on published by HM Treasury concerning asset freezing and entities subject to financial sanctions on Iran.
