Japan is set to ban the export of used cars to Russia as part of additional economic sanctions on the country over its invasion of Ukraine, APA reports citing Kyodo News.
While Japan has prohibited shipments to Russia of luxury vehicles worth more than 6 million yen ($43,000) since April last year, the planned additional sanctions are also expected to cover cars with gasoline or diesel engines exceeding 1,900 cc, as well as electric and hybrid vehicles.
Japan's exports to Russia totaled 603.9 billion yen in 2022, a decrease of 30 percent compared to the previous year.
