Taiwan’s Economy Ministry has expanded its list of sanctioned goods for Russia and Belarus in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The move aims to prevent Taiwanese high-tech goods from being used for military purposes. The list includes equipment for semiconductor manufacturing, chemicals, and medicines. Taiwan, although having minimal direct trade with Russia, has joined Western-led sanctions efforts.

Export license applications for the listed goods will “in principle” not be approved.
