Russia export controls and sanctions
The use of export controls and sanctions on Russia has surged since the country's invasion of Crimea in 2014, and especially its invasion of Ukraine in in February 2022.

The following is a listing of recent articles in Export Compliance Daily on export controls and sanctions imposed on Russia:
Suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements take effect Dec. 11 for imports of seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line and pressure pipe from Russia (C-821-827) and South Korea (C-580-910), after the Commerce Department found illegal subsidization in preliminary determinations released the previous day as part of its ongoing CV duty investigations.
