On Monday, Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance (Rosselkhoznadzor) asked Belarus to halt transit shipments of food products through the territory of Belarus, destined for Kazakhstan and other countries, starting from November 30. The purpose of such measures is to stop supplies of banned products to Russia from the EU, USA, Canada, Australia and Norway. Rosselkhoznadzor suspects that transit shipments through Russia from Belarus to Kazakhstan may partially stay in Russia. Since Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan are in the Customs Union, shipments between these countries do not undergo customs clearance, so there are no accurate estimates of products destined for Kazakhstan that stay in Russia. But the results of random inspection at the border of Belarus and Russia have shown that it is about 20% of all food products.
