In the first truck, 72,100 seedlings were found, including cherries, pears, plums, thuja, sweet cherries, roses, and strawberry rootstocks. This cargo was intended for the Nizhny Novgorod region.
As for the second batch, it included 160,000 units of products, including apple tree seedlings, mulberries, as well as gladiolus and rose bulbs. This cargo was destined for the Mari El Republic.
Reasons for Return
During the document inspection, inspectors identified serious violations concerning labeling. Some plants lacked information about the place and specific site of their origin.
This situation violates the legislation of the Eurasian Economic Union regarding plant quarantine.
Representatives of the Rosselkhoznadzor emphasized that uncontrolled importation of planting material poses significant risks. Dangerous pests or disease agents capable of causing serious damage to agriculture may be imported under the guise of ordinary plants.
Inspectors drew up violation reports and issued orders for the return of the products.
