This statistics release will provide data about decisions made on licence applications to the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) of the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) for 1 October to 31 December 2025 (2025 Q4). From the 2024 Q1 publication until further notice, these statistics have been reclassified and published as Official Statistics in Development.

About this release
– Scope: The release covers the decisions taken on licence applications processed by ECJU during 2025 Q4 (1 October to 31 December 2025). It focuses on the outcomes of those decisions and, where data allow, presents breakdowns by licence type and decision outcome.
– Purpose: The statistics provide transparency about how licensing decisions are taken and help stakeholders understand trends in export controls and compliance.

Official Statistics in Development
– From the 2024 Q1 publication until further notice, these statistics have been reclassified and published as Official Statistics in Development.
– What this means: The data are produced to high standards and are being developed for routine publication. They may be revised as additional quality checks are completed and as methods are refined. Readers should treat figures as provisional where noted and expect updates in future releases.

What you can expect in the data
– Outcomes: The release will report on the decisions made, such as licences granted, refused, or other outcomes where applicable.
– By licence type and context: Where available, data may be broken down by licence type and, subject to data availability, by end-use sector or destination country.

Data quality, methodology and limitations
– Data source: The statistics are derived from ECJU licensing records and administrative systems.
– Quality assurance: The release will include a brief overview of data quality, including any limitations in coverage or breakdowns and how reconciliation between records is performed.
– Revisions: Given the status of Official Statistics in Development, revisions to figures may occur in subsequent releases as methodologies are refined and data are updated.

Why this release matters
– Policy and oversight: The data support scrutiny of licensing decisions within the UK’s export controls framework, informing policy discussions and stakeholder understanding.
– Transparency and accountability: Publishing decisions and outcomes contributes to openness about how licence applications are handled and the outcomes of control measures.
