Commitment to Responsible Trade

Little Weaver London Ltd is a UK-registered defence broker (Company No. 07179470). We operate strictly in line with UK strategic export control regulations and international obligations. All activities are contingent upon the grant of an Open Individual Trade Control Licence (OITCL) or other authorisations issued by the UK Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU).

We do not conduct trade to, from, or within the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, or Australia. Our focus is exclusively on supporting approved manufacturers in accessing NATO-aligned procurement channels in Europe and other authorised destinations.

Scope of Controlled Products

We only broker defence products falling within the following UK control list categories:

  • Energetic materials & propellants – ML8 / PL9002
  • Ammunition components – ML3
  • Optics & electro-optics – ML15
  • Protective equipment – ML13
  • We only broker defence products falling within the following UK control list categories:

Manufacturer Requirements

We work only with licensed manufacturers that:

  • Hold government approvals to produce controlled items.
  • Possess valid export authorisations from their national authorities.
  • Provide full supporting documentation, including production licences and export permits.
  • Our long-term objective is to form preferred representation arrangements with a limited number of qualified manufacturers in each category.

Buyer Requirements

All buyers must:

  • Be government entities, government-approved stockists, licensed EU brokers, OEMs, or NATO-certified subcontractors.
  • Provide evidence of procurement authority and a formal End-User Undertaking (EUU) before any commercial or technical details are shared.

Internal Compliance Programme

Our ICP ensures:

  • Classification: Mapping of products against UK Consolidated List entries.
  • Due diligence: Verification of counterparties (registration, licences, sanctions checks).
  • End-use controls: Collection and retention of EUUs and framework contract evidence.
  • Record keeping: Secure storage of compliance documentation for at least seven years.
  • Oversight: A designated Compliance Officer responsible for all export control matters.

Ethical Position

We will decline any engagement that does not meet UK export control requirements, where documentation is incomplete, or where end-use raises diversion or misuse concerns.
