Lithuanian Customs is tightening control of transit cargo going to third countries via Russia and Belarus, the Customs Department of Lithuania reported.
"In order to prevent circumvention of sanctions, the control of goods imported into Lithuania and further through the Russian Federation and Belarus, whose addressees are in third countries, has been tightened since November," the customs said in a statement.
The department recommends "to describe the declared goods in as much detail as possible, indicating their properties and attaching documents about it."
Earlier, the Lithuanian authorities established 57 groups of goods, during the transit of which it is necessary to provide a declaration from the manufacturer indicating the seller (exporter) of their products and the buyer in a third country with a promise not to unload, overload or resell the goods when traveling through the territory of the Russian Federation and Belarus.
Electronics and its components, electrical transformers, chemical materials that can be used in the production of electronics, electric motors, generators, telephones predominate among the groups of goods for which the new procedure has been introduced.
