On 23 July, the European Union enacted a ban on imports of mirrors originating in Russia. The ban covers all types of mirrors, including automotive mirrors, as it encompasses the entirety of CN code 7009: “glass mirrors, whether or not framed, including rear-view mirrors”. The provision entered into force immediately, with a wind-down period until 25 October 2026 for contracts concluded before 24 July 2026.
