Brands of companies remaining in Russia not to be in parallel import list

The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade is ready to promptly revise the list of brands with allowed parallel import depending on the desire of companies to work in Russia, Minister Denis Manturov said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV Channel.

"This is actually a document that will either expand or contract, on the contrary. All that depends on foreign companies making their decisions in terms of presence on our market. If producers remain, if suppliers of imported products keep their logistics, deliver their products to the Russian market, then we are interested in products and brands not included into the list of our order," the Minister said.

It became known last week that the Ministry prepared the list of goods with allowed parallel import, comprising about 50 groups of goods and more than 200 brands.
