Over 20 tonnes of Moldovan apples were sent back from Russia on February 7 following checks at the “Krupets” checkpoint in Kursk region, IPN reports.
According to the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance of Russia, the consignment was not allowed to cross the border because the information about the importer indicated in the phytosanitary certificate didn’t correspond with the information from labels, which is a violation of the phytosanitary requirements within the borders of the Eurasian Economic Union.
