On Monday 3rd November, the Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation (OTSI) published new guidance on countering Russian sanctions evasion for businesses operating in the freight and shipping sector, including freight forwarders, carriers, hauliers, customs intermediaries, postal and express operators, and other companies facilitating the movement of goods.
OTSI will be hosting an accompanying webinar to support you in understanding and reducing your business’s exposure to sanctions risks on Wednesday 26th November, 13:05 – 14:00.
