Recital 12

(12) The prohibition applies to non-industrial natural and synthetic diamonds, as well as diamond jewellery, as of 1 January 2024, and includes a progressive phasing-in, from 1 March 2024 until 1 September 2024, of an indirect import ban on Russian diamonds when processed in third countries other than Russia, including jewellery incorporating diamonds originating in Russia. The phasing-in of indirect import bans takes into consideration the need to deploy an appropriate traceability mechanism that enables effective enforcement measures and minimises disruptions for market players.
