OREANDA-NEWS  Russian importers began to face new problems in the supply of servers, chips, processors, telecom equipment and other electronics under the parallel import scheme. In the last two weeks, banks in Armenia, Kazakhstan and Hong Kong have increasingly blocked attempts to pay for the corresponding codes of the commodity nomenclature, with reference to sources in the market, Kommersant writes.

The reason for this behavior of financial organizations was the tenth package of US sanctions, under which banks that allow Russian companies to circumvent restrictions may come under attack.

The interlocutor of the publication, close to the government, noted that it has also become difficult to make transfers for the supply of telecommunications equipment of the latest generation, data storage systems and servers. The Central Bank, commenting on this information, stated that the procedures for verifying payments in foreign banks in different periods are characterized by varying degrees of rigidity and depend on their domestic policy.

The head of the Russian-Asian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Vitaly Mankevich, claims that partners from Hong Kong describe the situation as difficult. At the same time, another source noted that not all Armenian and Hong Kong banks are blocking the payment yet, and besides, importers have started using other payment schemes.
