UK: GUIDANCE NOTE FOR COMPANIES TO HELP THEM UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO ENSURE THEY ARE COMPLYING WITH THE RUSSIA SANCTIONS

On 22 May, the Export Control Joint Unit issued Notice to Exporters 2023/08.  It is said that the aim of the Notice is to prevent the undermining of trade sanctions, export controls, and other restrictive measures designed and implemented in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.  Awareness of the risk and obligations in relation to sanctioned goods is an important first step for trade.
