Trade overview
Russia is a major global exporter of energy commodities, metals, and chemicals, though US-Russia trade has been severely curtailed by extensive sanctions regimes, particularly following the 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Most Russian goods are subject to elevated tariffs or outright import prohibitions under US executive orders and OFAC regulations. Trade professionals must conduct rigorous sanctions screening before any transaction involving Russian-origin goods.
