The Minister declareed that a relevant working group formed in the Customs Risk Management Division carries out centralised control of the sanctions’ enforcement.
“14 risk profiles were created to identify and restrict the flow of prohibited goods into Georgian customs by sanctioned individuals and organisations, as well as transit, export, and re-export operations. The Kazbegi checkpoint now has additional customs control equipment, including X-ray scanners. Other checkpoints’ capacity has also been increased,” the Minister stressed.
