Georgia trades with Russia legal goods, but is not a territory for the supply of sanctions European products, i.e. contraband. This was stated by the head of the Finance Ministry Lasha Khutsishvili.

The Minister noted that the Customs Department has established enhanced control at the checkpoint. As a result, there has been no violation of the international sanctions imposed on Russia in the past year. He added that customs officials have taken over a thousand decisions to prevent the passage of sanctions products through the territory of Georgia.

Today, Turkey is the main country through which parallel imports with the Russian Federation bypass sanctions. An online tracking system for all goods imported and exported from Kazakhstan will soon be operational in Kazakhstan. With this system, Kazakhstan intends to demonstrate that it is not helping the Kremlin to circumvent sanctions.
