On 26th September, the House of Commons Library published a briefing paper saying that the UK has a new legislative framework for imposing sanctions post-Brexit.

A new 2018 Act provides for creating sanctions regimes independently of the EU, although the sanctions powers are not yet in force, something that will happen by EU exit day.
