New US Export Controls and Sanctions webpage: BIS Creates Russia-Belarus Export Control Resources Webpage

The U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has created a dedicated Russia- Belarus Export Control Resources webpage, an invaluable source of information for UK businesses that export US controlled goods


‘In response to the Russian Federation’s (Russia’s) invasion of Ukraine, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has taken swift and severe action to impose stringent export controls on Russia. These restrictions have also been applied to Belarus in response to its substantial enabling of Russia’s invasion.’


The link to the page is here:
