Note that although IVDs are typically not themselves subject to restrictions under sanctions unless possibly considered to be dual use, or contain cryptography technology to encrypt patient data (in which case export licences are required).
Some organisations offering services related to export or finance maybe restricted or be reluctant to be involved in exports to sanctioned countries. E.g. legal services relating to notarisation or apostilling document to support exporting processes, or banking activities regarding getting payment from sanctioned countries into the UK.
Following the cross-government sanctions review and user requests for clearer guidance, we’ve made improvements and launched new pages on GOV.UK.
- a starter guide for UK sanctions which helps non-experts understand the basics of UK sanctions, including what they are and how they work.
- Improvements to the Russia sanctions statutory guidance, including 2 new ‘look-up’ guides covering:
- Amendments to the Russia regulations
- Exceptions to the trade and transport prohibitions in the Russia regulations
- How to report a suspected breach of sanctions, a new service to help guide anyone looking to report a suspected breach of sanctions to the right reporting body.
More improvements to UK sanctions content are underway. You can read more about these in the Cross-government review of sanctions implementation and enforcement.
The UK Sanctions List from FCDO lists which people, entities and ships are designated or specified under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018, and why.
The OFSI Consolidated List from HMT provides information relating to asset freeze and investment ban targets across all financial sanctions regimes implemented in the UK.
