Trucks heading from Kyrgyzstan were supposed to deliver seedlings to various regions of Russia. The first truck contained 72,100 seedlings, including cherry, pear, plum, thuja, sweet cherry, roses, and strawberry rootstocks. This cargo was destined for the Nizhny Novgorod region.
The second truck carried 160,000 units of products, among which were apple, mulberry seedlings, and bulbs of gladioli and roses. It was intended for the Mari El Republic.
Reasons for Return
During the document inspection, specialists discovered serious violations of labeling rules. Some plants lacked information about the place and specific site of their origin.
These actions contradict the legislation of the EAEU in the field of plant quarantine.
Agency representatives noted that uncontrolled import of planting material poses serious risks. Dangerous pests or disease agents that could harm agriculture may enter the country.
Inspectors drew up violation reports and issued orders for the return of the goods.
