The ban, which was imposed on July 19 due to alleged pest contamination in 28 batches, also affected imports from India, South Africa, Tanzania, and Malawi. The agreement requires Brazil to implement measures to prevent the shipment of vines with the Megaselia scalari fly, a quarantine pest in Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. Brazil is the world's largest tobacco exporter and Russia is its seventh largest destination for tobacco products.
