Before the beginning of the Christmas holidays, the German customs services recalled the ban on the import of a wide range of goods from Russia.
On the eve of the Christmas holidays, German customs reminded that imports from Russia are subject to a ban on a wide range of goods due to sanctions imposed for aggression against Ukraine. The agency warned that it will remove the sanctioned goods from the parcels. This was stated in a press release from German customs on Sunday, December 17.
The document states that “due to Russia’s destabilizing actions towards Ukraine, the Council of the EU adopted Regulation (EU) No. 833/2014 of July 31, 2014, prohibiting the import of various other categories of goods in the European Union.”
This list covers many items commonly sent in holiday packages, such as pulp, paper, wood, wood products, stone, precious metals, cigarettes, plastics and chemicals, including cosmetics.
Customs emphasized that sanctioned goods from Russia may be confiscated and confiscated. However, the report states that gift parcels from individuals in Russia to other individuals in the EU are not subject to sanctions.
The day before it became known that EU ambassadors could not reach an agreement on the 12th package of EU sanctions against Russia – this time because of Austria’s position. It was noted that Austria’s dissatisfaction was caused by the fact that Ukraine included the Austrian Raiffeisen Bank International in the list of international sponsors of the war.
