If we are advised at any point that goods (which are to be ordered, or have been ordered, and which are to be shipped to a non embargoed destination) will upon arrival be moved to an embargoed destination e.g. Republic of Congo to Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) then we must decline or cancel the order.

The simple reason that we don't provide prices is due to the fact that:-
We do not give warranties, however, we have been in business for over 45 years and will try to resolve any issues to the clients satisfaction.

The Incoterms rules or International Commercial terms are a series of pre-defined commercial terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) widely used in international commercial transactions.
A series of three-letter trade terms related to common sales practices, the Incoterms rules are intended primarily to clearly communicate the tasks, costs and risks associated with the transportation and delivery of goods.
The Incoterms rules are accepted by governments, legal authorities and practitioners worldwide for the interpretation of most commonly used terms in international trade.
They are intended to reduce or remove altogether uncertainties arising from different interpretation of the rules in different countries.
First published in 1936, the Incoterms rules have been periodically updated, with the eighth version—Incoterms 2010—having been published on January 1, 2011

Exports sales make up over 90-95% of our core business and as such we are well versed in the processes involved in the shipping of vehicles and equipment round the world.
It is necessary for most exports to require an Export Licence as issued by BIS (Department for Business, Innovation & Skills).
In particular it is necessary for customers purchasing ex. military vehicles to apply for an export licence being specific to the items being exported if the items are being exported from the U.K.
Video
The video below has been produced by BIS to aid customer's in understanding how important it is to have the correct export licence (where applicable) for Surplus Military Vehicles and Equipment.
Goods listed on our website as "NLR - No Licence Required are either civilian machines or have been deemed by BIS as not requiring a licence by virtue of having submitted either a rating or an application for a licence.
Any surplus military vehicle which is considered to be "Specially Designed for Military Use" must be shipped on a "Standard Individual Export Licence (SIEL)" .
Firstly when applying for an export licence, customers need to complete what is called an End User Agreement, a copy of which can be downloaded using one of the links below and which incorporates a checklist to aid in it's completion.
Download End User Document
Download Stocklist Document
Once that has been completed simply submit it back to our office on letterheaded paper (if available) if we are applying for the licence on your behalf or submit it to BIS if you are applying independently for the licence using the spire system.
Export licence applications generally take between 3-6 weeks to be processed and approved.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Some countries are under an EU embargo and as such will not be granted an export licence unless it can be proven that the vehicles are for Humanitarian Aid Support e.g. UN Aid Work.
For more information on EU Embargoed Countries..... Go To The BIS Website
Go To This DIS Website
There is currently no fee for an export licence however, BIS is considering levying a fee in for each licence application.
A licence once granted is valid for 2 years or until it is exhausted i.e. all goods stated are shipped or it expires or is revoked due to changes in the status of the destination concerned e.g. EU/NATO sanctions come into force.
