Japan Updates List of Common Priority Goods Subject to Russia Controls

Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry recently updated its list of common "high-priority" goods barred from being exported to Russia, according to an unofficial translation. The items on the list, updated Oct. 20, include electronics parts, such as integrated circuits and transistors, wireless equipment and cameras. The full list has 45 types of goods, sorted into four tiers based on the level of importance to the Russian government. The move comes about one month after the U.S. and others expanded their list of common high-priority items that exporters and others should closely monitor for potential diversion to Russia (see 2309200031).
