UK updates import licensing system for sanctioned countries 

The UK’s Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (‘OFSI’) has updated its import licensing process, amending guidance for sanctions programmes targeting Iran, Belarus, North Korea and the Central African Republic, the office announced 19 November.

The former ‘Import Case Management System’ has been renamed ‘Apply for an import licence’ as part of a service update that includes new email contacts and web links across multiple sanctions regimes.

The changes affect guidance documents for the Iran (Sanctions) (Nuclear) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (Sanctions) Regulations 2019, Republic of Belarus (Sanctions) Regulations 2019, and Central African Republic (Sanctions) Regulations 2020.
