The packaging indicated that the seeds originated from France, Belgium, and Japan, but the driver could not provide a phytosanitary certificate or other necessary documents.
The import of such seeds was prohibited, so the cargo was sent for disposal. The perpetrator was brought to administrative responsibility, reports Rosselkhoznadzor.
