The goods were hidden in the interceiling space of the carriage near the passenger compartment. During the inspection customs officers found a total of 304 units of goods. The packages were labeled with the country of origin Japan
Dental materials used for fixing crowns, dental restoration, as well as kits for clinical teeth whitening and filling are temporarily prohibited for export from Russia. The violator did not have a permit from the Federal Service for Supervision of Health Care to export the goods
