The Treasury has the power to issue General Licences for financial and trade sanctions regimes under a number of Regulations.
On 1 April 2022, the Treasury issued General Trade Licence IOM/2022/GTL001 under regulation 65 of the Russia Sanctions (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, as they apply to the Isle of Man by the Russia Sanctions (Application) Regulations 2020 [SD 2020/0504] (“the Regulations”). Which permits the provision of technical assistance, financial services and funds, and brokering services relating to vessels.
This licence is a temporary measure which will address a shortcoming in the regulations.
The licence comes into force on 1 April 2022. Any person seeking to rely on the licence must email customs@gov.im within 30 days of their first use of the licence.
