Russia considers reinstating parallel imports of Samsung, SK Hynix products amid memory shortages
What happened
Russia is reportedly considering reinstating parallel imports of products from Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix to ease shortages of memory and storage devices used in data centers. The measure remains under consideration and has not been implemented. However, US export controls on Russia and tight global memory supplies are expected to make it difficult for either company to resume direct shipments to the Russian market or significantly expand local sales.
