533 Luxury Goods to Belarus and Russia

For purposes of the new license requirements, a “luxury good” refers to any item that is identified under new §\u2009746.10(a)(1) of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). See Exhibit 533 for a list of luxury goods destined to Belarus and Russia that require a license and an ITN. No exemptions are allowed.
