About Import and Export Licensing
The Import and Export Licensing Service is being developed by an in-house development team within the Department for International Trade (DIT) developing a new cross-government platform for import and export licensing to replace the current SPIRE IT system. This service is part of One Government @ the border and will be extended to rollout across Government for import and export licensing.
Using SPIRE, you can apply for an export or trade license for your activities and items if you require a license for the wide range of "strategic" goods (such as security items, military goods, civilian products designed with a military use or purpose, firearms, police and paramilitary goods, radioactive sources and much more). You can also use SPIRE to make a Ministry of Defense Form 680 application, Private Venture security grading or Exhibition Clearance applications.
Overview of SPIRE System Level Access
Organisation administrator
- Any users with this level of access have full administration rights for an organisation (including all sites).
- They will be able to add, edit and delete users from the organisation registration, and from all sites associated with it.
- They are able to submit, prepare and view applications (and also be a contact on an application).
- They will also be able to amend details within the registration. It is envisaged that the person with overall responsibility for export controls within a company should be an organisation administrator.
- We recommend that there are at least 2 organisation administrators per registration so that a company retains a level of flexibility when amending the registration details.
Application submitter
- Any users with this level of access will be able to prepare and submit applications. They will not be able to amend details within the registration and will not be able to add, edit or delete users from the registration.
Application preparer
- Any users with this level of access will be able to prepare applications, but will not be able to submit them. In order for an application to be submitted, a user with that level of access will have to logon to SPIRE, resume the draft application and can submit the application. It is envisaged that a company would make use of this level if they wanted all applications to be approved by a certain person or team before submission but were happy with others completing most of the application preparation.
Application viewer
- A user with this level of access can view applications for the organisation/site. This level of access may be useful to those involved with export controls who want overview of the export licensing activities of the company but who don’t need the more hands on access that a preparer or submitted has. Note: This
person will still be able to prepare and submit applications for themselves, other organisations who are not registered on SPIRE or organisations who have set them up as users on their SPIRE registration with the appropriate levels of access.
Application contact
- This level of access can be assigned to any users who need to be added to the application form as a point of contact to answer specific questions (for example, an engineer or technical contact)but who wouldn’t be involved in export licensing beyond this.
