The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation ordered the regions to ensure unhindered passage of vehicles carrying food and essential goods. This is stated in the decree of the department.
"Ensure the unhindered passage of vehicles carrying all goods, primarily food and essential goods, as well as the next to be loaded with these goods," the document says.
Now, according to the agency, some regions have their own requirements for forms of transport passes. This blocks the work of transport operators, including federal ones. In some regions, transport with non-food items ordered over the Internet is not allowed.
“I remind you that in accordance with the order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated March 27, 2020 No. 762-r, distance trade in food and non-food products is allowed,” the letter says.
