Lithuanian customs check cars entering the country on X-rays, which will help detect any contraband, and the time it takes to cross the border will increase along the way. The Belarusian State Border Committee proposes creating long queues at border crossings so that people’s “shopping tours” become less attractive.

“Until now, we used X-rays to check trucks, but new trends are forcing us to adapt our way of working,” said Arunas Sarulis, Vilnius Customs Director.

We should add that “gasoline tourism” was very popular in the Finnish regions bordering Russia. Due to the significant difference in fuel costs, the Finns preferred to refuel at Russian gas stations.

But now Helsinki has officially decided to break the long-established tradition. The AvtoVzglyad portal reports details on how the Finns will be weaned from profitable trips to the Russian Federation.
