The ECJU has extended the validity of the General Trade Licence Russia sanctions: sectoral software and technology, as set out in Notice to Exporters 2026/08. This administrative update affects UK-based exporters engaged in software and technology sector exports to Russia who operate under this general licence arrangement.

Exporters currently using or intending to use this general trade licence should review the updated validity dates and confirm their export activities remain covered. No new obligations or restrictions are imposed; this is a routine extension of existing licence terms. Companies should update internal export compliance records to reflect the new expiry date.
