Update Sanctions January 1 2026: In-person Info Session - Jan 7

Info session

Time: 10.30am

On 1 January 2026, the final phase of the G7 sanctions against Russia, including the ban on Russian diamonds, will enter into force. This marks an important change for the diamond trade.

During these information sessions, AWDC will explain what this final phase means in practice for diamantaires, with a specific focus on the new obligation to submit a Due Diligence Statement on Diamond Origin when importing polished diamonds within scope. We will clarify what is required, who is affected, and how to prepare for compliance as of 1 January 2026.

These sessions are designed to provide clear, practical guidance and to answer your questions, so you know exactly what to expect and how to act.
