Details

UK sanctions regimes are in force under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (the Sanctions Act). This legislation has enabled us to transition existing EU regimes into UK law and establish UK autonomous regimes. These apply in the whole of the UK, including in Northern Ireland.

Read the UK sanctions guidance for further details on complying with sanctions.
