The US Department of Commerce will be publishing a new rule on Monday that revises its "luxury goods' sanctions" list so as to include the ban on exporting smartphones and other electrical goods worth more than $300 to Russia and Belarus, the Federal Register reported on Sunday, citing a document issued by the Bureau of Industry and Security. 

"...the Department of Commerce is expanding and strengthening the existing sanctions against Russia and Belarus, including the scope of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)'s Russian and Belarusian industry sector sanctions and `luxury goods' sanctions. This rule also refines existing export controls on Russia and Belarus," the document says.
