Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what guidance is provided to exporters on demonstrating low diversion risk under the Sanctions End-Use Controls.

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) provides guidance for businesses on Sanctions End-Use Controls and countering sanctions evasion through GOV.UK, which sets out how exporters can address diversion risk.

Exporters should evidence robust due diligence, including clear understanding of the end use and end user, transparent supply chains and consistent commercial and transport documentation.

DBT continues to support exporter compliance through regularly updated guidance and proactive stakeholder engagement to ensure businesses understand their obligations.
