The Russian Consulate General in the UAE has called on Russians not to agree to requests to bring Dubai chocolate to orphans.
The corresponding message was posted on the diplomatic mission’s Telegram channel.
Diplomats noted that airports are asking for boxes of chocolate to be delivered to orphans.
However, there may be goods inside that are prohibited from being carried in personal belongings.
In addition, the diplomatic mission reminded that the transportation of goods through the suitcases of random passengers is not part of parallel import.
The Russian Consulate General asked its compatriots not to agree to bring Dubai chocolate to the Russian Federation.
At one time, chocolate from Dubai became popular among Russians due to its affordable price and taste.
However, Russian diplomats are urging citizens not to fall for the trick of bringing in Dubai chocolate.
Calls from strangers to bring Dubai chocolate as a gift to Russia should be ignored.
