EXPORT (TRADE) COMPLIANCE
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW

to communicate better with suppliers and customers the matters of export compliance since it is a legal obligation for all. All metals and plastics are of dual use by nature as they can be used for both military and commercial purposes. In some cases export/import licenses are needed for dual use products heading to various countries. Please read more at the following links:https://www.gov.uk/guidance/controls-on-dual-use-goods

as a moral obligation to contribute in the fight against WMD

it is not unusual, instead, in the last years more and more companies and trade organizations internationally publish similar webpages. Few examples:
British Exporters Association

and
The Superalloy Committee of the Specialty Steel Industry of North America

No, they may possibly relate. According to the UK's EXPORT CONTROL ACT OF 2002

( https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2002/28/contents )

in Schedule 1, you can see that Export and Trade controls may be imposed in relation to on goods from which military technology can be derived. We all know that military technology can derive from either the military ( specially designed, modified, manufactured for military use ) products or the commercial products ( commercial products that can be used for military purposes - the actual nature of dual use products ).

If it is unknown then suppliers have to apply. If they apply they take all the risks as discussed below. That is an excellent reason why you can cooperate with Utility Metals. Utility Metals pays emphasis on if goods are controlled and where. If they are controlled it will not apply ( except few except cases on NATO projects, etc. ) 

If they are fined, you bet they will. Not following laws either because they simply are not aware of them or in case they do it on purpose are not the best options.
