Estonian authorities are tightening measures on the border with Russia.
From August 8, full customs control will be introduced on the border with the Russian Federation.
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna confirmed this information in his personal blog on August 1.
He reported that the Estonian authorities had decided to introduce full customs control on the border with Russia from August 8.
The government had previously reviewed the relevant plan for control when leaving the country.
Estonia is stepping up border checks due to attempts to flout sanctions and transport prohibited goods.
The changes have been communicated to freight carriers and bus companies.
Conducting a full inspection instead of a random one will increase the time it takes to pass through customs control.
Poland, Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia also signed an agreement in May strengthening enforcement of sanctions against Russia.
