Overview

The Autonomous Sanctions (Export Sanctioned Goods—Russia) Designation 2022, enacted under the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011, was introduced to address the issue of exporting sanctioned goods to Russia. This legislative instrument was made by the relevant authority under subregulation 4(3) of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011. The primary policy objective of this instrument is to designate specific goods as export sanctioned goods to Russia, thereby enforcing sanctions by prohibiting their export. The goods listed in the schedule of this instrument include categories such as aluminium ores, luxury goods, machinery, and unmanned aerial vehicles, each specified with detailed descriptions and classifications to ensure clarity and enforceability. This legislative measure aims to align with international sanctions against Russia by controlling the export of certain goods that could potentially contribute to activities inimical to global interests.

Scope and Application

The Autonomous Sanctions (Export Sanctioned Goods—Russia) Designation 2022, made under subregulation 4(3) of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011, designates specific goods as export sanctioned goods for Russia. This legislative instrument applies to Australian entities and individuals who are engaged in the export of goods to Russia. The designated goods include a wide range of items such as aluminium ores, luxury goods, machinery, and unmanned aerial vehicles, as detailed in Schedule 1. The regulation extends to the Commonwealth of Australia, imposing obligations on those exporting designated goods to Russia. It does not explicitly state exclusions or exemptions, but it is understood that the goods listed in Schedule 1 are the primary focus of the regulatory restrictions. The application of this legislation may be further refined or extended through subordinate instruments, which are not detailed in this specific legislative instrument but can be accessed through the Federal Register of Legislation. The compiled law, as amended and in force on 24 February 2025, includes editorial changes that do not alter the substantive effect of the law.

Key Provisions

The Autonomous Sanctions (Export Sanctioned Goods—Russia) Designation 2022 designates certain goods as export sanctioned goods for Russia under subregulation 4(3) of the Autonomous Sanctions Regulations 2011 (section 4). The Schedule lists the designated goods, categorising them into aluminium ores and related products, luxury goods, machinery and related goods, and unmanned aerial vehicles. Each category includes detailed descriptions and Australian Harmonized Export Commodity Classification (AHECC) codes. This legislation imposes significant obligations on Australian entities and individuals. They are prohibited from exporting the designated goods to Russia without specific authorisation. These obligations require compliance with Australian sanctions regulations, which include obtaining any necessary permits or licenses and adhering to reporting requirements. The legislation mandates that any export of the listed goods must be reported to the relevant authorities, and failure to comply can result in severe penalties. Breaches of the provisions outlined in this legislation are subject to penalties. Under Australian law, unauthorised export of sanctioned goods can result in substantial fines and imprisonment. The maximum penalties may vary based on the severity and intent behind the breach. Additionally, corporations involved in such activities may face further penalties, including corporate fines, disqualification of directors, and other corporate sanctions. These measures are intended to enforce compliance and deter violations of the sanctions regime.
