BIFA would like to remind Members’ about an updated list of sanctions applying to products originating in Russia.

- Metals (e.g. copper, nickel, aluminium lead and many more and articles thereof)
- Diamonds and diamond jewellery.
A link to the updated guidance on sanctions can be found here and specific guidance on restrictions on trading Russian-originating metals can be found here – Russian metals sanctions: overview – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
