Partial lifting of export restrictions in Russia (amendments to Governmental Decrees Nos. 311 and 312 dated 9 March 2022)

Partial lifting of export restrictions in Russia (amendments to Governmental Decrees Nos. 311 and 312 dated 9 March 2022)

On 12 May 2023, new regulations came into force amending Governmental Decrees Nos. 311 and 312 dated March 9, 2022 ("Decrees 311/312"). The Decrees imposed a temporary ban on the exportation from Russia/Belarus of certain types of goods, including various types of products classified under either the 10-digit custom classification (HS) codes (i.e., subheadings) or entire groups of 4-6-digit HS headings and subheadings.

In accordance with Decree 312, the products in question may be exported to other countries of the Eurasian Economic Union (Armenia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, the "EAEU") on the basis of special export permits.

The new amendments introduced by Governmental Decree No. 715 dated May 6, 2023 establish a general statutory exemption under which the export ban should not apply to goods exported to non-EAEU countries for humanitarian assistance and/or prevention and elimination of natural disasters and other emergencies.

The amendments also exclude more than 200 products from the export ban imposed by Decrees 311/312, including the following*:
