A person must not directly or indirectly supply or deliver iron and steel products from a place in Russia to a third country.

Paragraph (1) is subject to Part 7 (Exceptions and licences).

A person who contravenes a prohibition in paragraph (1) commits an offence, but it is a defence for a person charged with the offence of contravening paragraph (1) to show that the person did not know and had no reasonable cause to suspect that the supply or delivery was from a place in Russia, whether directly or indirectly.

In this regulation, “third country” means a country that is not the United Kingdom, the Isle of Man or Russia.
