The itemized 100 US export products represent US$516.3 million in American sales to Russia in 2024 or 98.3% of total US exports into Russia as assessed by value.
Exports from the United States to Russia equaled just 0.03% of all US products exported around the world in 2024. That percentage is same as the 0.03% for 2023.
The greatest increases among the top 100 US exports into Russia from 2023 to 2024 are attributed to printed circuits (up 17,600%), projectors, enlargers and reducers (up 8,333%), miscellaneous machinery (up 2,623%), non-dissolving chemical woodpulp (up 1,698%) then specially designed containers including those for fluids (up 804%).
The heaviest declines among America’s sales of exported goods to Russia were recorded for shrinking Russian spending on cases, handbags and wallets (down -93.4% from 2023), organic surface-active products including soaps (down -77.4%), spraying or dispersing mechanical appliances (down -76%), oral and dental hygiene preparations (down -73.6%), phone devices including smartphones (down -71.6%) then unrecorded sound media (down -70.5%).
