IMPORTANT!
Sanctions law is complicated and may change without warning. How individual members will be affected will depend on a wide variety of factors and it is not possible for this website to provide comprehensive or conclusive advice. The intention is to provide some general comments, convenient access to relevant materials and news of latest developments. Members should not act in reliance solely on the information provided here. They must make their own enquiries and take legal advice which can take account of their circumstances. Extreme caution is necessary when conducting business which has any kind of connection to a country to which sanctions apply. Due diligence must be exercised and documented.

Members are also reminded that Sanctions regulations applicable to the Association may significantly limit the assistance which can be provided and also have an effect on cover - see in particular Rules 30.4.7 & 32.7.
