According to journalists, the plan to bypass the restrictions does not apply to products from the USA and Canada, and the prices of European goods in Russia are rising due to “Turkish speculation”.
Turkey partially restarted the transit of sanctioned goods to Russia. However, this plan does not apply to products from the USA and Canada. This was reported by the Russian edition of “Kommersant” on March 21, with reference to the interlocutors.
But Yulia Shlenskaya, head of the KBT customs and logistics commissioner in Moscow, said that “the Turks continue to speculate” about the sanctions.
“They say that everything is complex and very individual, respectively, the price is higher. We re-exported our goods on Friday,” he said.
In addition, some codes of the commodity nomenclature of foreign economic activity (TNVED) cannot be regulated, regardless of the country of origin.
Participants in the Russian market believe that if the transition is restored, with restrictions. In particular, according to the new EU requirements, difficulties will arise in the transition of dual-use goods.
Georgy Vlastopulo, managing director of Russian logistics company Optimalog, said on March 20 that they managed to arrange transit in the Russian Federation both at the airport and at truck terminals, but only for goods manufactured in the EU.
At the same time, it is not possible to send goods from the USA. If the country of origin “America” and the country of destination “Russia” are indicated in the declaration, the goods are blocked from customs clearance.
“There is this problem, we asked Turkish brokers. You can leave Turkey with a sign of another country,” he said.
Recall, on March 19, the media reported that companies from India and the United Arab Emirates helped Russia to circumvent sanctions. According to journalists, tankers are provided for the transportation of oil to Moscow by Fractal registered in Dubai and Gatik from Mumbai.
On March 10, CNN reported that China is selling military products to Russia despite sanctions. Specifically, defense contractor Poly Technologies has shipped helicopter parts and air-to-ground radio equipment to a state-backed Russian firm.
