The Haiti (Sanctions) Regulations 2022, and certain other regulations, are in force to implement certain UN obligations.

This summary gives a quick overview of the sanctions in place under the regime. It is not comprehensive and is not a replacement for the statutory guidance or the regulations themselves.

Summary
Regime is limited in scope to:


sanctions targeting designated persons
sanctions in respect of arms and related material of all types

Designated persons
The UK Sanctions List tells you who is designated under the regime and which sanctions have been applied to them. A designated person can be an individual, a business or an organisation.

The statutory guidance lists in detail the sanctions that can apply in respect of designated persons, including:


an asset freeze on their funds and other assets
making available funds or economic resources to them or for their benefit
immigration sanction (travel ban)

Sanctioned goods and services
You must not export or otherwise supply or transfer to or for use in Haiti, or to a person connected with Haiti certain goods in these categories (this is not an exhaustive list):

Related financial services, brokering services and technical assistance may also be subject to sanctions.
