Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree banning the export of refined gold bars weighing more than 100 grams from the Russian Federation, with several exceptions, according to a report by TASS.
The decree was published on the official legal information website.
The document states that, starting from May 1, 2026, the export of refined gold bars weighing more than 100 grams from the Russian Federation will be prohibited for individuals, legal entities, and individual entrepreneurs.
The decree notes that exceptions apply in certain cases. The export of affiliated gold bars to countries of the
Eurasian Economic Union
is permitted through air border checkpoints at the international airports of Vnukovo, Sheremetyevo, Domodedovo, and Knevichi, provided that a permit is obtained from the Federal Assay Office.
In addition, individuals are allowed to export affiliated gold bars to countries outside the Eurasian Economic Union through the same Russian air border checkpoints, provided they have a permit from the Federal Border Service. This provision also applies to legal entities and individual entrepreneurs exporting gold bullion to non-EAEU countries.
