What is the Full Form of OGL?

OGL Full Form: OGL stands for Open General Licence. It is a category of licence that the government issues to its domestic providers. The OGL, also known as a Standard Individual Export Licence or SIEC, is the export licence that exporters utilise in place of an individual export Control licence. 

OGLs permit an exporter to export certain controlled goods so long as the shipment and its destinations are acceptable. There are many different OGLs, including OGEL. The OGEL can be categorised as follows:

• Dual-use products for both military and civilian applications are included in OGELs.
• The export of military goods is permitted under the OGEl.
• Transshipment OGLs permit the export of restricted products via the UK from one nation to another.
• Trade regulation OGLs aid in limiting activity related to trafficking and brokering.
• EUGEAs (European Union General Export Authorizations), which are comparable to OGELs in that they encompass licencing for specific dual-use goods going to non-European destinations, are available.

Eligibility to Get OGL

• An import-export certificate is required for anyone or any organisation asking for a licence.
• The Department of Defence Production should receive all quarterly and annual reports gathered on all transactions carried out under OEGLs for proper review and post-export verification. The application will only be sent for additional processing after this step.

Restriction of OGL

The “End-use” restriction of OGL prohibits the export of goods that are connected to the manufacture of chemical or nuclear devices. It does not permit export to a customs-free zone, therefore export documentation is necessary.
