Russian citizens will not be able to bring personal belongings and vehicles to Europe

Berlin (Monitoring Desk): European countries, in a move endorsed by the European Commission, have imposed restrictions on Russian citizens regarding the transportation of personal belongings and vehicles into Europe. Russian nationals are no longer permitted to bring Russian-registered vehicles, along with items like smartphones, jewelry, and laptops, when entering European nations.

The European Commission, while backing sanctions against Russia, clarified that the use of vehicles registered in Russia now falls under the category of prohibited imports from Russia, as defined by the Customs Code, regardless of whether the vehicles are intended for private or commercial purposes. This ruling follows last summer’s incidents when some Russians driving their cars to Germany encountered stringent security checks at customs.

In early July, German customs authorities confirmed that the importation of passenger vehicles from Russia is now prohibited under Article 31 of Regulation 2014/833, which mandates sanctions against Russia. This prohibition encompasses the movement of goods for both personal and non-commercial purposes. Legal experts have raised concerns about this decision, as Article 31 explicitly forbids the import or transfer of Russian goods to European countries as outlined in Annex XXI.
