EU Begins Enforcing ‘No-Russia’ Clause Requirement for Exporters, Firm Says

Customs administrations in the EU have started to enforce a new requirement that exporters insert clauses in their contracts that bar reexports of certain sensitive goods to Russia and Belarus, U.S.-based logistics company Expeditors said last week. The enforcement has begun even though customs authorities have made no official announcement to that effect, Expeditors said. The European Commission in February issued updated guidance on how EU companies should comply with the “no reexport to Russia” clause (see 2402270046).
