EU sanctions snapshot: 24 Apr 2026

HS 7212408021 covers of non-alloy steel, painted, varnished or coated with plastics on at least one side, excluding so-called 'sandwich panels' of a kind used for building applications and consisting of two outer metal sheets with a stabilising core of insulation material sandwiched between them, and excluding those products with a final coating of zinc-dust (a zinc-rich paint, containing by weight 70% or more of zinc) and excluding products with a substrate with a metallic coating of chromium or tin. As of the 24 Apr 2026 EU sanctions snapshot, 4 measures apply covering export to Belarus, export to Russia, import from Belarus, and import from Russia under EU regulation 765/2006 and 833/2014 (Annexes XII, XVIII, XVII, XXIII). The EU third-country duty rate is 0.0% — this is the rate for all third countries unless a preference applies. EU anti-dumping or countervailing duties apply from China (rates in the range 0.0%–26.1% and 13.7%–44.7%) — the actual rate depends on the specific exporter. The code falls under the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM): importers must report embedded emissions and, from 2026, surrender CBAM certificates. A ship / do-not-ship verdict depends on the specific route, counterparties, and end use — this page shows the restrictions attached to the code itself.
