(3) Goods may be described in the order wholly or partly by reference to the uses to which the goods, or any information recorded on or derived from them, may be put.

(4) The power to impose export controls is subject to section 5.

(5) The Secretary of State may by order make provision in connection with any controls that may be imposed by a directly applicable Community provision on the exportation of goods.
