“Most often passengers violate the rules of importing food products. For example, guests from Tajikistan lack authorization documents for imported honey, dairy and meat products. The second most popular violation was attempts to import more than 250 grams of tobacco product “nasvay” without declaration. And closing the top three – moving without declaring money in the equivalent of more than 10 thousand U.S. dollars,” – comments the head of the customs post Balandino Airport Alexei Alexeev
