Latvia to Ban Import of Certain Industrial Goods from Russia and Belarus

Coalition partners have reached an agreement on imposing new sanctions against Russia and Belarus. The plan includes a ban on importing certain industrial goods from these countries, but the exact list of products has not been disclosed and is not available to journalists.

According to available data, imports from Russia and Belarus have declined sharply in recent years. At the same time, Latvian exports to these countries remain significantly larger than imports. The government will provide further details on the scope and timeline of the ban once the proposals are officially approved.
