Introduction

Further to notice to exporters 2022/33, a tranche of new trade sanctions on Russia entered into force on 21 April 2023.

Full details of the new measures, which augment the sanctions measures introduced in 2014, can be found in The Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) (Amendment) Regulations 2023.

New measures

New measures to prohibit the export, supply and delivery, and making available to, or for use in, Russia of a range of goods, as well as the provision of related ancillary services.

This includes a range of goods that Russia has been found using on the battlefield.

Schedules in the Regulations where newly scheduled items have been added are:

  • 2A (critical-industry goods and critical-industry technology)
  • 2E (quantum computing and advanced materials goods and technology)
  • 3C (defence and security goods and defence and security technology)
  • 3E (G7 dependency and further goods) and 3I (Russia’s vulnerable goods)

Appropriate licences can continue to be sought for prohibited activity.

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.

Information on existing financial sanctions against Russia 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.
