To prohibit the importation of uranium from the Russian Federation.
HR 7222 prohibits U.S. importers from bringing Russian uranium into the country, targeting specific uranium-related categories under U.S. tariff codes. This directly affects U.S. companies, utilities, and manufacturers that currently import or plan to import Russian uranium for energy or industrial use. The bill bans these imports starting 45 days after the law is enacted, overriding existing import rules. It creates a clear legal barrier to Russian uranium entering the U.S. market without additional government approvals.
