🇺🇸 The USA has imposed a ban on the import of aluminum, copper, and nickel originating from Russia. American companies are now prohibited from engaging in transactions involving metals of Russian origin, including export and re-export. However, these restrictions will not apply to metals from Russia that were produced before April 13, 2024.

Furthermore, US and UK authorities have decided to restrict the use of Russian aluminum, copper, and nickel on global metal exchanges. Consequently, the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) will no longer accept Russian metals produced after April 13.
