Food products will not be included in the scope of parallel imports.

In the spring, the Russian government legalized parallel imports to meet the demand for foreign goods in demand. One of the principles by which the goods are included in the list is the termination of deliveries to the Russian market. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade emphasized that parallel imports do not mean the legalization of counterfeit products, the measure includes the import of original goods, but through alternative supply channels.
