Russia Export Market Guide

The export of wine from Australia to Russia is prohibited in accordance with Australia’s sanction laws.

From April 2022, the export of wine from Australia to Russia is prohibited in accordance with Australia’s sanction laws. The prohibition also includes a raft of other goods.

Wine Australia is not able to approve any wine exports to Russia through its online Licensing and Approval System (WALAS). This includes shipments destined for Russia that would ordinarily be re-exported to other markets.

Australian sanction laws establish serious criminal offences for contravening a sanctions measure or a condition of a sanctions permit. Any questions relating to the sanctions should be directed to the Australian Sanctions Office via its online portal.
