Sanctions & embargoes compliance guide

The purpose of this Sanctions & Embargoes Compliance Guide for the Diamond Industry is to provide an overview of how the diamond trade could be impacted by trade sanctions, what specific risks to look out for and which (preventive) action is required to trade in a compliant and safe way.

It is mandatory for all persons and entities to comply with the sanctions regulations which apply to them and thus also to diamond traders. AWDC has drafted this document to provide diamond traders guidance in how to ensure compliance with sanctions and embargoes regulations. This document is useful for Belgian diamond traders as well as financial institutions servicing the Belgian diamond industry.

Due to the evolving nature of trade sanctions, it is recommended to take into account the date of this document.
