Economic trade and financial sanctions

Economic, trade or financial sanctions are imposed by governments or the United Nations to exert pressure on individuals or political regimes and for the advancement of foreign policy objectives.

> What are sanctions?

Please note: Requirements and prohibitions of trade sanctions vary among targeted countries and can be complex. Penalties for non-compliance with economic sanctions include regulatory action, monetary fines and/or custodial sentences. Although Lloyd’s can provide general guidance on this subject, anyone handling business potentially subject to sanctions should consider seeking independent legal advice.
