Vyborg customs to ensure the smooth clearance of goods and vehicles through the Russian-Finnish border

From March 30 to April 7, 2020 through three road checkpoints on the land border of Russia and Finland in both directions proceeded 7 026 freight vehicles.

In an average day Vyborg customs officers make more than 800 vehicles of this category in both directions. The customs operations in respect of the commodities included in a special list, are made on a priority basis.

In terms of the threat of the spread of coronavirus infection officials of the Vyborg customs, working in checkpoints across the state border, carry out their activities, observing precautions in protective masks and gloves. All customs officials before you begin, are thermometry.

A modified approach to the organization of the work: now the driver gets out of the car to the hall of registration. Customs inspector himself comes to the cabin for the reception or transmission of documents. Information about the rules of behavior on the territory of checkpoints placed in the information areas and communicated to the drivers upon arrival of vehicles at the checkpoint.

Vyborg customs recommends, including drivers of vehicles of international transportation, comply with the sanitary rules of conduct at checkpoints across the state border of the Russian Federation to reduce the risk of infection COVID-19.

The management of customs is taking all the necessary measures to prevent direct contact of the carriers with the officials of the customs bodies, as well as carry out emergency preventive measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus.
