Russia may ban trucking from unfriendly countries

The President of Russia issued a decree granting the government the authority to impose a ban on international road transport of goods by foreign carriers, which introduced similar restrictive measures against Russian citizens and Russian legal entities.

If a ban is introduced, the government of the Russian Federation will be able to establish the duration of the restrictions, the types of cargo transportation for which the ban is established, and the conditions under which the ban does not apply. Previously issued permits in case of violation of this prohibition will be considered invalid.
