The cargo was packed in polyethylene film and bore veterinary stamps from a Spanish manufacturing enterprise. However, the drivers did not have the necessary veterinary certificates and accompanying documents.
Furthermore, the import of products from this Spanish enterprise into Russia has been restricted since 2009.
The trucks were sent to a parking lot. Specialists are conducting a product inspection to exclude the risk of introducing infectious animal diseases into Russia.
