What the measure doesCRS summary

This bill prohibits the importation of energy products from Russia.

Specifically, the bill prohibits the importation of Russian products that are classified under chapter 27 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (which includes mineral fuels, mineral oils and products of their distillation, bituminous substances, and mineral waxes).

The President may terminate this prohibition, subject to congressional disapproval, if the President certifies that Russia (1) has reached an agreement to withdraw Russian forces and cease military hostilities in Ukraine, (2) poses no immediate military threat of aggression to any North Atlantic Treaty Organization member, and (3) recognizes the right of the Ukrainian people to independently and freely choose their own government.

Written by the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, describing H.R. 6968 as public Law on Apr 8, 2022. It is not the text of the measure; a later amendment may have changed what it does.
