🇺🇦 UA issued this export control measure, touching energy, fertilisers, agriculture and 1 more sectors. It reads as restrictive and has been amended since announcement — current severity (3) reflects the latest revision. active — 2 amendments, median lag 152d.
Resolution No. 1466 of 27 December 2022 approves, for 2023, the volume of export quotas for licensed goods (Annex 1), the controlled ozone-depleting substances and fluorinated gases whose export and import require a licence (Annexes 2-3), and a list of goods whose export requires a licence (Annex 5). Annex 1 sets a zero quota for hard coal and anthracite, wood fuel, natural gas of Ukrainian origin, unwrought gold and silver and precious-metal scrap, and finite quotas of 900,000 t for coking coal and 540,000 t for fuel oil. The resolution took effect on 1 January 2023 and was amended repeatedly during 2023.
Analyst notesShowHide
Mechanism
Annual licensing resolution under the Law "On Foreign Economic Activity". Exports of Annex 1 goods are permitted only inside the stated quota; a zero quota means no commercial export licences. The Ministry of Economy issues licences; Ministry of Energy sign-off is required for coking coal and fuel oil, with fuel-oil licences additionally capped at 60,000 t per month. Precious metals in Annex 1 are exported directly by the State Precious Metals and Gems Repository, or via the National Bank for bank metals, without licences. Unused 2022 licences remained valid to 1 March 2023.
Severity basis
Rated 3: a licensing-and-quota regime on real chokepoint-class goods (coking coal, fuel oil, fertilisers, precious metals), but the quotas are wartime domestic-supply measures renewed annually, cover no rare or critical minerals, and several lines (wood fuel to 1 March 2023, sugar to 15 September 2023) were time-limited. Quantities rest on the quota volumes stated in Annex 1 (900,000 t coking coal, 540,000 t fuel oil).
Downstream implications
- Ukrainian coking coal and fuel-oil exporters are held to fixed volumes; zero quotas on hard coal and natural gas remove those exports from commercial channels.
- Fertiliser exports (Annex 5) and, from October 2023, grain and oilseed exports (Annex 7) require a licence, which gives the ministry a lever over destination and volume.
Open questions
- The GTA record describes an import-licensing element including a North Macedonia-specific line; the consolidated resolution text reviewed here shows import licensing only for the controlled substances in Annexes 2-3, so that line is not separately filed.
