“Opening declarations for “live” cargo at Ural Electronic Customs is a priority. We understand that a long road and not always comfortable transportation conditions affect animals. That is why our task is qualitative and prompt control. I would like to note that regardless of the type of goods, more than 90% of goods declarations in the Ural Electronic Customs Office are released within 4 hours,” said Sergey Epifanov, Head of the Ural Electronic Customs Office
