Russia: Russia Extended Food Import Ban Through End 2021

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

On November 21, 2020, President Putin signed decree No. 730 extending Russia’s ban on the import of agricultural products from the countries that applied economic sanctions against Russia, including the United States, until the end of 2021. The Government issued decree No. 2054 of December 9, 2020, implementing the decree of the President without any changes to the list of covered products. There was only a technical change to the list of covered countries, with the UK added to the list to reflect the Brexit reality. This report contains an unofficial English translation of both documents, as well as Russia’s food import ban, listing the countries and products covered, as it currently stands.
