OREANDA-NEWS Turkey has refused to completely resume the transit of sanctioned goods to Russia — now supplies are coming with a number of restrictions, Kommersant writes with reference to logisticians. For example, the mechanism has stopped working for products from the USA and Canada, as well as certain categories of consumer goods, regardless of the country of production.
On March 20, Russian companies were able to arrange transit both at the airport and at cargo terminals, but only for goods produced in the EU, said George Vlastopulo, CEO of Optimalog. Registration of American cargo with the indication of "Russia" as the destination country is blocked.
On the same day, Reuters, citing the head of the Istanbul Association of Exporters of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous Metals, Cetin Tejdelioglu, reported that Turkey had distributed among local companies a list of sanctioned goods that cannot be delivered to Russia from March 1, regardless of the country of origin.
As Kommersant notes, such a decision indicates the readiness of the Turkish authorities to meet the EU halfway and limit the transit of dual-use goods. On February 25, the European Union published the tenth package of sanctions, which includes a ban on the transit of dual-use goods and technologies through the territory of Russia. So the block intends to stop the indirect re-export scheme, which allows goods to be imported into the Russian Federation through the interruption of transit. In such cases, the goods are initially purchased by non-Russian companies, but in the process of transit they "settle" on the territory of the country.
According to Vlastopulo, while Turkey does not block dual—use goods, restrictions are imposed only by the EU - the bloc does not release them for transit through Russia and Belarus. However, according to AKFA Commercial Director Alexey Chernyshev, Turkey has already taken its own steps. Since March 20, the Turkish airport has refused to accept shipments of 84 and 85 groups of foreign economic activity going to Russia for processing ("Nuclear reactors, boilers, equipment and mechanical devices", "Electrical machines and equipment").
Georgy Vlastopulo doubts that the former scheme of free transit passage will be restored by Turkey. He names two most likely scenarios for the development of events — either the country will close the transit of dual-use goods or those produced in the USA, Canada, Japan, Taiwan, or the transit will be closed completely.
Turkey suddenly stopped the transit of sanctioned goods going to Russia through parallel imports, on March 9 — the customs system began to block their clearance. Since March 13, the transit of goods has resumed, there have been no comments on the change in its nature.
