Defence and Strategic Goods List
The Defence and Strategic Goods List The Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL) has been amended with effect from 14 Oct 2011 and is now called the Defence and Strategic Goods List Amendment 2011. An Explanatory Statement which summarises the changes from the previous DSGL has also been published. |
Goods included in the Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL) may not be exported from Australia unless a licence or permission has been granted by the Minister for Defence, or an authorised person, and that licence or permission is produced to a Collector of Customs before exportation.
The Defence and Strategic Goods List (DSGL) Amendment 2011 is identified in Regulation 13E of the Customs (Prohibited Exports) Regulations 1958 as the document titled ‘Defence and Strategic Goods List’.
The DSGL includes equipment, assemblies and components, associated test, inspection and production equipment, materials, software and technology and is divided into two parts.
A Quick Reference Guide has been compiled to familiarise you with the structure and content of the DSGL. A more comprehensive index of the items that are controlled is at the back of the DSGL.
The DSGL is amended regularly to incorporate the changes from the various multilateral non-proliferation and export control regimes of which Australia is a member. DECO consults with Australian companies, whose export activities might be affected by the changes, when compiling amendments to the DSGL. Amendments to the DSGL are approved by the Minister for Defence.
