Rosselkhoznadzor did not allow 38 tons of salmon and mackerel across the Russian-Latvian border

On April 22, 2021, in the Pskov region of Russia, in a notable inspection at the Burachki checkpoint on the Russian-Latvian border, the Rosselkhoznadzor Office for St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Pskov regions successfully prevented the illegal importation of 38 tons of salmon and mackerel from Chile and Norway into Kyrgyzstan. The fish, which had been transported to Klaipeda, Lithuania, and was en route to Bishkek, was intercepted due to the lack of necessary import permits from the Kyrgyz Republic's State Inspectorate for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Safety. Consequently, an order for the return of the confiscated goods has been issued, underscoring the importance of international agricultural health regulations and the cooperation between countries to ensure the safe movement of food products.
