New guidance and tools for GOV.UK sanctions content
Following the cross-government sanctions review and user requests for clearer guidance, we’ve made improvements and launched new pages on GOV.UK.
- The licensing considerations for trade sanctions under the Russia regime are now navigable and scannable in a guide that forms part of the statutory guidance: Look up considerations for trade licences under the Russia sanctions.
- A schema is now available for the XML format of the UK Sanctions List. Access all available formats on the UK Sanctions List page.
- New, additional UK Sanctions List formats (CSV, PDF and TXT) will be made available later this month (December 2025).
As announced 13 October, the OFSI Consolidated List of Asset Freeze Targets is closing. From Wednesday 28 January 2026 the UK Sanctions List will be the only source for all UK sanctions designations. There will be no changes to the structure of the current UK Sanctions List. See how to prepare for the change.
More improvements to UK sanctions content are underway. You can read more about these in the Cross-government review of sanctions implementation and enforcement.
