No-Russia clause

Also called: Article 12g of Regulation 833/2014

An EU sanctions requirement obliging EU exporters selling certain sensitive goods, such as common high priority items and arms-related goods, to third countries to include a contractual clause prohibiting re-export to Russia. Contracts must also provide adequate remedies for breach.

In practice

Missing the clause in a covered contract is a breach of EU sanctions even if the goods never reach Russia.

Applies to: EU
