Aside from vodka, here's what the US imports from Russia [FULL LIST]

Due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, a handful of states, such as Pennsylvania and North Carolina, have proposed banning the sale of Russian vodkas in stores and bars.

The product is well know as one of the more popular United States' imports, but what other items does the country rely on from Russia?

It turns out that the rest of the things we get from Russia are not as easily dumped as a bottle of vodka. Russia accounted for 21% of all U.S. gasoline imports in 2021, per Forbes. After that on the list was precious metal and stone (platinum) accounting for $2.2 billion in imports, then iron and steel ($1.4 billion), fertilizers ($963 million), and inorganic chemicals ($763 million).

Most of the Russian brands exported to the United States aren't very recognizable, but there may be a few familiar ones such as Fabergé jewelry, Kaspersky cybersecurity and antivirus software, and Aeroflot, better known as Russian Airlines.
