Statutory Instrument Explanatory Notes:


These Regulations are made under the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 (c. 13) to amend the Russia (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 (S.I. 2019/855) (“the 2019 Regulations”). These Regulations provide for new trade sanctions measures in relation to Russia. Prohibitions on the export, supply and delivery and making available of military goods are extended to include dual-use goods and critical-industry goods. Prohibitions on the making available and transfer of military technology are extended to include dual-use technology and critical-industry technology. Related prohibitions on the provision of technical assistance, financial services, funds and brokering services are also extended in relation to dual-use goods and technology and critical industry goods and technology.


These new prohibitions replace prohibitions relating to dual-use goods and dual-use technology for named persons, and for military use. Transitional provision is made in relation to licences issued to authorise trade within the scope of the replaced prohibitions.


A number of exceptions from the trade prohibitions on critical-industry goods and technology are provided for, in relation to personal items and diplomatic missions, consular posts and international organisations, the movement of aircraft and vessels, consumer communication devices and software updates, and emergencies.

As a Customs and International Trade advisor, I need to know a lot about the importation process and understand how goods make their way onto supermarket shelves. This includes all the regulatory requirements they must meet to achieve this.
