Trade Sanctions

Abstract

In the UK, trade sanctions should be distinguished from arms embargoes. The latter comprise a ban on the export of military arms and related material, e.g. ammunition, weapons, and other military goods. Thus, embargoes relate to all goods and technologies on a ‘UK military list’. Certain similar goods though not listed may also require a licence either under ‘military end-use controls’ or ‘weapons of mass destruction’ end-use controls.
