Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI)
09 April 2026
Today, the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) has published an update on OTSI’s expanding licensing remit. In addition to its existing remit for standalone services, from Monday 27 April, OTSI will become responsible for licensing sanctioned goods (and associated ancillary services) for export. This will exclude goods and associated ancillary services which are also subject to export controls. The update explains the changes and what this means for exporters when applying for an export licence for sanctioned destinations via SPIRE.
