Recently, the U.S. federal government has taken significant action toward Russia and Belarus following their invasion of Ukraine. Although Russia and Belarus are currently not considered to be comprehensively sanctioned, the following links outline new U.S. regulations that restrict most activities and collaborations with Russia and Belarus including, but not limited to, the shipment or importation of what is considered “luxury goods”:

NOTE: The White House published a press release in June 2022 indicating the U.S. government’s intent to wind down institutional relationships and research collaborations in the fields of science and technology with Russian government-affiliated research institutions and their affiliated personnel.
Please read the UNC-Chapel Hill Export Compliance Office Memo on the White House press release for additional information.
