Look up considerations for trade licences under the Russia sanctions
Source: gov.uk (2025-11-27)

As part of the statutory guidance, a look-up guide listing all considerations for trade licences for certain prohibitions, and links to general licences available.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has produced guidance where you can check which trade licence you need (https://www.gov.uk/guidance/how-to-apply-for-a-trade-sanctions-licence). This will guide you to the application page for each type. If you think that your proposed activity falls within one of the considerations listed here, you should explain why you believe this to be the case in your application.

You should not assume that a licence will be granted or engage in any activities prohibited by trade sanctions until your licence has been granted.
