The Russian federal government website published news on November 2, announcing a temporary ban on the export of six types of petrochemical products from Russia to regions other than the member countries of the Eurasian Economic Union, with the aim of ensuring a stable supply of raw materials for Russian domestic industrial enterprises. The ban lasts for 3 months and involves products including coking benzene, petroleum benzene, toluene, o-xylene, p-xylene, and phenol. The above products are used in coatings, food packaging, floor materials and cable insulation materials for the manufacture of automobiles, aviation, ships, and railway machinery, as well as in the medical industry. The ban does not apply to international transit of petrochemical products, international humanitarian aid supplies, and supplies to Russian institutions in Svalbard.
