Sanctioned products in Russia to be destroyed in accordance with the rules

The Federal Customs Service (FCS) of Russia will develop regulations under which its employees will operate during the destruction of sanctioned products – currently there are no rules like this. The corresponding notification appeared yesterday on the portal for the disclosure of information on the preparation of regulatory legal acts.

The Government Decree of July 31 gave customs officials the authority to make decisions on the seizure and destruction of agricultural products, raw materials and food from countries that fell under Russian anti-sanctions, but there is no legal basis for such actions, the agency explains. In addition to enforcement authorities and officials of the Federal Customs Service, the document will affect individuals – owners of products banned for import.
