All business and trade enquiries in relation to Ukraine/Russia need to be made to DIT’s Export Support Service helpline (0300 303 8955) or digital enquiry service.
The situation in Ukraine and Russia will continue to change over the coming days and weeks. This may involve further sanctions which could affect your business.
We recommend you to refer to gov.uk on all the latest guidance on sanctions relating to exporting to Russia. The links below refer to 2019 and the latest 2022 financial sanctions relating to Russia.

Companies doing business with countries subject to sanctions must accept the risks of doing so, just as they accept other political and market risks.
You will need to immediately adjust your business if you are undertaking activity with those that we have newly designated on 22 February. We suggest you take legal advice if you suspect your business could be impacted.
You can stay up to date with the latest government notifications on export controls by signing up to the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) e-alert service.
