They have the right to apply inspection procedures on their part and do not inform us, this is not provided for in our agreements. We can only say that the movement has slowed down, cars pass less. We know from the drivers that they went through more thorough checks and the X-ray machine. Apparently they are applying some kind of stricter procedure, “said R. Liubajev.

President of Linava: if necessary, it would be possible to drive through Latvia, but queues will also form there

Romas Austinskas, president of the Linava Transporters Association, says that the lines of tugboats on the Belarusian border have increased overnight.
“It just came to our notice then. Obviously, the cargo streams that are moving are loaded over the weekend, and the increased inspection immediately queued,” Austinskas told Eltai on Saturday.

According to him, in an emergency situation, carriers could direct cargo through Latvia, but queues would also form there.

“Carriers make their own decisions, but there are all kinds of nuances. It is possible to drive through Latvia, but that border also does not have special bandwidth conditions depending on its infrastructure, so the queues will also be there.

Another thing that worries Belarusian customs officials, they were ordered, bribery is certainly not on the Belarusian side, these things are settled. Who, as you can hear from the carriers, remained on the Russian border, “he said.

Earlier, R. Austinskas told Eltai that the inspection of trucks at the border has been intensified recently.

“We are pleased that there has been a clear increase in inspections on the Belarusian side. The attached documents look very exaggerated. Any deficiencies in the signature of a customs representative, for example in a declaration or stamp that was never present when Everything is done electronically. In this case, they carry out a physical inspection of the merchandise, unload it, load it, order the carrier to pay for it, it takes time, “said R. Austinskas.

“Immediately, because the number of people working in customs does not increase, but these procedures take longer. “Queues and carrier dissatisfaction are immediately increasing,” he said.
