Regulatory Updates

Last Updated: 19/10/2026

Sanctions

Sanctions lists do not stand still. Neither should your screening. The UK Sanctions List was updated again on 16 October 2026, including new Iran designations and amendments under other sanctions regimes. Before shipping, exporters should re-screen customers, beneficial owners, banks, vessels and other transaction parties against the current list. Yesterday’s clear result may no longer be clear today.

Export Control

More destinations. Less licensing friction. The Export Control Joint Unit has expanded several widely used Open General Export Licences, including the Dual-Use OGEL. From 14 October 2026, eligible exports to several additional lower-risk destinations may benefit from a simpler licensing route. Exporters should check the revised licence carefully before applying, because being listed is helpful, but meeting every condition is what keeps the shipment moving.

Operational Insight

No classification advice? No shortcut. The Export Control Joint Unit has temporarily paused its Control List Classification service. Exporters remain responsible for deciding whether goods, software or technology are controlled and for securing the correct licence before export. New classification requests submitted during the pause will not be processed, so build expert classification checks into your process early. (Notice to Exporters 2026/22)
