Customs has been liquidated, but not everyone is recommended to travel along the land corridor to Crimea
Customs inspection points at the administrative borders of new regions of Russia have been eliminated.
The head of the Federal Customs Service, Vladimir Bulavin, spoke about this today in the Federation Council, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In the near future, we will have to solve the priority tasks of creating and establishing customs authorities in new constituent entities of Russia, establishing customs administration and foreign economic activity in them within the framework of the Russian legal framework.
On the administrative border with these Russian republics and regions, customs control has been canceled and customs operations have been stopped.
Only operators of customs inspection and inspection complexes remained there, involved in the work of assisting the border service of the FSB of Russia and law enforcement agencies in ensuring national security,” Bulavin said.
According to him, the passage of defense cargo across borders has also been simplified.
“Since the beginning of the CBO, the customs service has prioritized the task of maximizing customs administration simplification and accelerating the movement of cargo that is critical for the economy, social sphere and defense needs. We quickly responded to changes in logistics and workload at checkpoints, increased staffing, and transferred a number of posts to round-the-clock operation. Immediate clearance of goods for the needs of defense enterprises was organized. All surveys are resolved on a priority basis. A significant part of this work is in the closed segment,” Bulavin said.
Crimean volunteer Valeria Petrusevich, who helps the North Military District fighters, spoke about her experience of traveling along the land corridor to Crimea.
“In fact, crossing the border towards Mariupol took a little more than half an hour. In the opposite direction, the queue is longer, and the search is much more thorough...
Border Rostov - Crimea Dzhankoy via Mariupol, 500 km, 7 hours.
True, the speed of movement was high, and we were lucky with the checkpoints that knew us and let us through out of turn.
There is a queue at the border with Crimea Chongar, about two hours for sure. And there is almost no curfew along the route: theoretically it is at 22 p.m., in practice they calmly allow you to start the route earlier and finish it if you are delayed.
“I remain of the opinion that for now it is only advisable for trucks to use the land route to Crimea, while it is easier for cars and small trucks to travel across the Crimean Bridge.”
