The 10th package lands on the one-year anniversary of the invasion and widens two fronts the EU had already opened in earlier packages, plus one new one.
Import bans. Asphalt and synthetic rubber imports from Russia are prohibited outright; rubber products get a temporary transitional import quota running to 30 June 2024 before the ban fully bites.
Dual-use/advanced-technology export expansion. Further critical technology and industrial goods are added to the export-ban annex, continuing the pattern of package-by-package annex growth since the 4th/5th packages.
Media. Additional Russian broadcasting licences are suspended within the EU, extending the media-suspension measures from earlier packages.
Listings (separate CFSP-track instrument). 87 individuals and 34 entities are added to the asset-freeze/travel-ban list, including Iranian persons and entities tied to drone manufacture and supply to Russia, plus 96 entities linked to Russia's defence-industrial base.
Mixed: the asphalt/synthetic-rubber import ban and dual-use export expansion are qualitative prohibitions with no disclosed tariff/quota figure, but the package's scale is independently measured by its listing count — 121 individuals/entities (87 individuals + 34 entities) plus a further 96 defence-industrial entities, comparable to the 168-entity 9th package (filed: 2022-12-16-eu-council-regulation-2474-9th-russia-sanctions-package, severity 4) and the 116-listing 14th package (filed: 2024-06-24-eu-council-regulation-1745-14th-russia-sanctions-package, severity 4).
Russia — a precedent for treating third-country military-technology suppliers as sanctionable alongside Russian targets.
