Koltsovsky customs officers carried out customs control of passengers of the Ekaterinburg-Beijing flight. 80 people, 56 pieces of luggage with total weight of 989 kg went to the capital of China. This is the first flight for the last 4 years. In 2020, air traffic between Ekaterinburg and Chinese cities was suspended due to restrictive measures related to the coronavirus pandemic.

The flight was suspended in 2020

Before the pandemic began, flights to China were in demand among Urals passengers. Koltsovsky customs officers are ready to fully conduct control and all necessary customs operations. Moreover, in our work we use the principles of client-centeredness – inspectors have a memo with basic phrases in Chinese, so that the customs control was as comfortable as possible for both passengers and us, as well as promptly and efficiently,” – said First Deputy Head of the Koltsovsky customs office named after V.A. Sorokin Mikhail Mikhail. Mikhail Sentyakov said

The first flight went without violations – none of the passengers tried to violate customs rules
