Is the whole of chapter 37 under sanctions?

No. The annexes list specific entries rather than whole chapters, with few exceptions. This list contains only codes present in the goods annexes. A code from chapter 37 that is not here requires separate verification, because restrictions outside the CN database may apply, for example dual-use or entity-based bans.

How do I know whether it is an export or import ban?

The direction follows from the article and annex where the code appears. The same code may be under an export ban to Russia and an import ban from Belarus at the same time. For every code we show the regime, annex, article and direction separately.

CN chapter 37 and EU sanctions

Photographic or cinematographic goods

In chapter 37 of the Combined Nomenclature (Photographic or cinematographic goods), 6 CN codes are restricted by EU measures: 6 toward Russia and 6 toward Belarus. Determine the status of a single product on its code page, because the same chapter can hold both restricted and unrestricted entries.
