Trade routes not confirmed to be „Conflict Free „include direct exports from the DRC, as well as exports through Rwanda, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania and Kenya or an adjoining country (countries of whom defined in 2010 United States legislation, Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act note are global export routes for DRC-mined minerals).
