Moscow - Customs terminals on the Russian-Ukrainian border are working as usual, Russia's Federal Customs Service (FTS) said on Dec. 12.
“Crimean Customs has reported that customs terminals at checkpoints are
working as usual. The reports spread by Ukrainian mass media outlets about
alleged tightening of customs control over goods traveling from Ukraine and
about ‘traffic jams on the border are untrue,” the agency said in a
statement
At 0500 p.m. on December 12 there were 30 trucks heading for Russia on the
neutral lane at the Armyansk border checkpoint, and four trucks at the border
checkpoint in Dzhankoy, the statement said.
Earlier the deputy chief of the Ukrainian State Fiscal Service, Anatoliy
Makarenko, told reporters that the formation of a queue of around 200 trucks at
the Perekopsky isthmus was due to stricter inspection of vehicles by Russian
customs officers.
