The full details of the new measures, which augment the sanctions measures introduced in 2014, can be found in The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) (No. 14) Regulations 2022.

New measures

Prohibitions on the export and making available of items listed on the G7 Dependency and Further Goods List to, or for use in, Russia, in addition to prohibitions on the supply or delivery of such items from a third country to a place in Russia (as well as prohibitions on the provision of related technical assistance, financial services, funds, and brokering services).

Expanded prohibitions on the export, making available, and supply or delivery of energy-related goods (as well as prohibitions on the provision of related technical assistance, financial services, funds, and brokering services).

Prohibitions on the import, acquisition and supply or delivery of:

  • oil and oil products (note these provisions come into force on 31 December 2022)

  • coal and coal products (note these provisions come into force on 10 August 2022)

Prohibitions on the import, acquisition and supply or delivery of gold originating in Russia (as well as prohibitions on the provision of related technical assistance, financial services, funds, and brokering services).

Exceptions

There are some exceptions to the prohibitions, which are set out in detail in the legislation, and licences can be granted in very limited circumstances.

There are also financial sanctions against Russia and further information is available from the Office for Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI).

Further guidance and support

Guidance on the scope of sanctions against Russia, including the circumstances in which licences can be granted, will shortly be updated and can be found on the Russia sanctions: guidance page.
