Belarus faces broad US sanctions that significantly restrict bilateral trade, with most Belarusian goods subject to import prohibitions or heightened scrutiny following political repression and support for Russia's military actions. Key Belarusian export sectors historically included potash fertilizers, machinery, and petroleum products. Trade professionals must consult OFAC and Commerce Department guidance before engaging in any Belarus-related transactions.

The US has imposed multiple rounds of sanctions on Belarus, including restrictions on potash imports, financial transactions with designated entities, and prohibitions on goods benefiting the Lukashenko regime.
Some limited categories may be permissible under specific OFAC licenses, but importers must obtain legal counsel and verify each shipment against current sanctions lists before proceeding.
Belarus lost its Normal Trade Relations status with the US, meaning Belarusian-origin goods are subject to Column 2 tariff rates, which are substantially higher than MFN rates.
