UK Government Publishes Sanctions Evasions Guidance For The Freight and Shipping Sector

On 3 November 2025, the UK Department of Business and Trade (DBT) and the UK Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) published guidance for the freight and shipping sector aimed at helping the sector to better understand the circumvention practices used by Russia to evade sanctions.

The guidance is intended to be for freight forwarders, carriers, hauliers, customs intermediaries, postal and express operators, and other companies facilitating the movement of goods. The objective of the guidance is to reduce the risk that these key stakeholders in the freight and shipping industry will be targeted by entities and individuals seeking to evade sanctions.
