The Belarusian government has once again extended a temporary ban on the export of a wide range of imported industrial goods. According to a Council of Ministers resolution, the restrictions will remain in effect for another six months, until September 23, 2026.
The list of restrictions includes over 200 items, including medical and dental products; industrial equipment and machine tools; internal combustion engines, pumps, and boilers; special equipment (bulldozers, loaders, agricultural machinery); refrigeration and air conditioning equipment.
What the ban does NOT apply to:
1. Domestic goods: Products with a certificate of Belarusian or Russian origin are not subject to the ban.
2. Exports to Russia: Goods move freely within the Union State.
3. Transit: The restrictions do not apply to international transit shipments.
4. Special Permits: Export is possible with one-time licenses from the Ministry of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade or for goods produced in free customs zones.
Export of these goods to other EAEU countries (Kazakhstan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan) remains possible only with the approval of the relevant government agencies.
