OELAS is the Departments online export licensing application system. Exporters should use OELAS to register and apply for export licences/authorisations.

Types of Export Licences:
The following categories of licence are issued by the Export Licensing Section:
** Individual Dual-Use Licences
** Global (Dual-Use) Licences
** Military Licences
** Brokering Activities Licences
** Licensing under the Torture Regulations
** Global Transfer Licences – Directive 2009/43/EC

Procedures for applying for an Export Licence:
How do I apply for an export licence:
In order to apply for an export licence or authorisation, you must first register via our on-line export licence system (OELAS).

Details on how to register on OELAS is available at the following link:
Applying for a dual-use export licence:
Applications must be completed on-line via OELAS. In most cases, an end-use certificate will be required as part of the export licence.

Circumstances where EUC’s are required without exception include:
** Potential exports to EU sanctioned countries (the list of countries is available at the following web address)
** Potential exports of military and dual-use products to military/security related end-users.
** Exports of military goods that fall within the scope of the most recent version of the EU Common Military List.

All export licence applications are thoroughly examined. In some cases, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is consulted on the application. If an application is refused, an exporter may appeal. Any appeal should be lodged with the Licensing Unit within 28 days of the refusal, together with any information that was not available to the Licensing Unit when the original decision was made. The appeal will be assessed in the context of the new information provided.

Applying for a global export licence:
Global export licences provide exporters with more administrative flexibility than individual export licences. They can be used to cover shipments of goods and technology listed on the licence to the countries of destination listed on the licence.

These types of licences are a common feature of all export licensing regimes, and are useful for companies that have a high volume of relatively low risk exports to a certain group of countries. In such cases, multiple license applications would impose a very serious administrative burden on the company. However, they are only issued following a rigorous risk assessment of the goods and countries concerned and of the previous licensing and compliance history of the exporter and are subject to strict conditions of use.

The validity period for these licences range from 3 to 12 months. Exporters in receipt of this type of licence are required to adhere to a set of conditions as well as providing the Department with reports outlining details of all exports that have taken place within the validity period of the licence.

Global licences are subject to reporting requirements.

The reports should include the following details:
** Control list number
** Quantity and value of product exported
** Name and address of consignee – the country of destination must be included as a separate field
** Name and address of end-user – – the country of destination must be included as a separate field
** Licence Number
** Date of Export

Applying for a military export licence:
Applications must be completed on-line via OELAS. All export licence applications are thoroughly examined and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is consulted. An end-use certificate (EUC) must be submitted with all military export licence applications. International import certificates are accepted for exports destined for another EU Member State.

Brokering Activities Licence:
The Control of Exports (Brokering Activities) Order 2011 – S.I. No. 86 of 2011, imposes a licensing requirement in respect of brokering activities involving persons and entities negotiating or arranging transactions that may involve the transfer of items listed on the EU Common Military List, or who buy, sell or arrange the transfer of items listed on the EU Common Military List that are in their ownership:
** from a non-EU country to a non-EU country;
** from Ireland to a non-EU country;
** from another EU Member State to a non-EU country.
