Answer
Information on the Customs requirements for exporting is given in HMRC Public Notice 275. All notices can be found on our website www.gov.uk:
– Type “Notice 275” in search box > Notice 275: Customs export procedures
I would also suggest that you contact the Customs Authorities in the importing countries to ascertain if there are any import restrictions on such items.
