Bans imports of certain minerals from Russia starting 90 days after enactment. The prohibition applies to specified platinum‑group metals, nickel, and copper ores and concentrates (including zinc) when produced in the Russian Federation or by a Russian entity, and also blocks goods routed through swaps or exchanges to evade the ban. There is no presidential waiver.
The ban generally ends one year after the President certifies that Russia has ended hostilities against Ukraine. For three years after that certification, if hostilities resume, the import ban automatically snaps back into effect.
Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
