As RIA Novosti notes, we are talking about an exception from the ban on interaction with the Central Bank, the National Wealth Fund and the Russian Ministry of Finance "for paying taxes, fees, import duties, processing and obtaining permits, licenses, registrations and certificates."

In June, the US Treasury allowed until December 5 to carry out operations with the Bank of Russia, VEB, Otkritie Bank, Sovcombank, Sberbank, VTB and Alfa-Bank on energy products, despite the sanctions.
