Trade Sanctions

The Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) of the Department for Business and Trade was launched in October 2024. OTSI is responsible for strengthening the United Kingdom’s implementation and enforcement of trade sanctions in compliance with the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2018 (“Sanctions Act”)and the Trade, Aircraft and Shipping Sanctions (Civil Enforcement) Regulations, 2024. The Sanctions Act permits sanctions regulations for trade, aircraft and shipping sanctions to impose prohibitions or requirements, and it further provides that provision may be made for the enforcement of those prohibitions or requirements.

The UK Sanctions List provides a listing of all designations made under the Sanctions Act. The UK Sanctions List includes all sanctions categories in the UK and details which sanctions measures apply to such persons, entities or ships and a statement of reasons for the designation. When the UK government makes, varies, or revokes a designation, it will update the UK sanctions list.
