UK Sanctions List - 2,350 Entities & Ships (FCDO)

The consolidated UK Sanctions List, published by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: 2,350 Entity and Ship designations (1,667 entities and 683 ships) as of 16 October 2026, with the names, aliases and non-Latin names the list publishes (a per-designation cap guards pathological rows), the regime, the sanctions imposed, addresses, countries, business registration numbers and - for ships - IMO number, flag, type and tonnage.

Entity and Ship designations only. Individual (natural person) designations are deliberately excluded from this dataset. A few free-text fields (notably parentCompany and ukStatementOfReasons) reproduce the official listing text, which can name directors or controllers; structured personal fields on individuals (DOB, nationality, passport, home address) are never carried.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you receive - the whole list stays searchable, you are never billed for the scan behind it.

Search it

• Name or alias - name="GAZPROM" (matches primary names, aliases and non-Latin names).
• Regime - regime="Russia", "Iran", "Global Human Rights".
• Sanction - sanctionsImposed="Asset freeze", "Transport sanctions".
• Country - country="Iran".
• Type - designationType="Ship" for the designated fleet.
• Exact ID - entityId="RUS1072", ofsiGroupId="12703".
• Vessel - imoNumber="...".

Example inputs

Russia regime, asset-freeze entities

{ "regime": "Russia", "sanctionsImposed": "Asset freeze",
  "designationType": "Entity", "maxResults": 50 }

One name across all aliases

{ "name": "Sberbank", "maxResults": 50 }

The designated fleet

{ "designationType": "Ship", "maxResults": 100 }

Aggregate it

Set groupBy with no filters for a whole-list rollup, or with filters for a scoped one:

{ "mode": "aggregate", "groupBy": "regime" }

groupBy = regime (default), sanctions, designationType, country, designationSource or typeOfEntity. Every row carries groupKey, groupCount, groupBy and totalMatched. A designation with several sanctions, regimes or countries is counted once per value, so those group counts sum to more than totalMatched.

The default (empty) run returns the regime rollup. To list every record rather than a rollup, pass a filter - for example designationType="Entity" (1,667) and designationType="Ship" (683) in two runs.
