• Items that protect the country's security such as arms, munitions, and items only for
military use.

they can only function within that product, for example a built-in satellite navigation
system installed into cars, boats or aeroplanes.
• Filament bulbs apart from LED filament bulbs which are not exempt.
Products that can be used for both military and civil purposes, such as laptops or key-
