Our major exports to the US are electrical equipment, precious stones / metals, medicines, machinery, mineral oils, and iron & steel. So these sanctions will mostly hit factories. If you're an average consumer and don't work in manufacturing, you'll probably be fine. (You might want to stock up on any generic medicines, though. They have very thin profit margins, so companies here might simply stop exporting to the US if they get spooked.)
