Changes to Trade Sanctions Licensing Team

The Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) has reorganised which internal team handles trade sanctions licensing responsibilities. This is purely an administrative restructuring within the Department for Business and Trade and does not introduce new sanctions, alter existing export controls, or create new compliance obligations.

Exporters engaged in trade with sanctioned destinations should note this change for administrative purposes when contacting ECJU regarding licensing matters. No changes to licensing criteria, processing times, or substantive requirements are associated with this notice. Exporters should continue to comply with all existing trade sanctions regulations and licensing requirements.
