OREANDA-NEWS Lithuania has tightened the rules for the supply of sanctioned goods through Belarus and Russia. This is reported by Interfax with reference to the customs service of a European country.
Since December 18, during export (re-export) or transit, it is mandatory to confirm the origin of the goods. The declaration must contain confirmation that the manufacturer knows who the end user is, and is also sure that it is not used to circumvent sanctions restrictions, otherwise the goods will not be released from the European Union.
This year, Lithuanian customs has already strengthened control over goods going towards Russia and Belarus. In 2023, trucks crossing the country's border began to be scanned with X-ray equipment.
Earlier, the US authorities added more than 250 firms and private entrepreneurs from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Turkey and China to the sanctions list of foreign companies and individuals suspected of helping Russia circumvent current restrictions. They were suspected of supplying Russia with dual-use goods that Russia can use for military purposes.
Finance Minister Janet Yellen said that a sharp expansion of the sanctions list of foreign companies would help "tighten the grip on suppliers from third countries" and reduce technology exports to Russia.
On Monday, December 18, the EU approved a new package of anti-Russian sanctions. The new restrictions are aimed at high-income sectors of the Russian economy. At the same time, the new package of measures mitigates bans on the import of personal items, including hygiene items and clothing, by travelers from Russia.
