From June 29, 2021, it will be possible to transport pesticides and agrochemicals to Russia only through certain border checkpoints. This will make it possible to strengthen control over the circulation of such substances, as well as to exclude the entry of dangerous counterfeit products into the country. The list of checkpoints was formed taking into account their equipment with special equipment, which allows you to track the volume and quality of imported products. This work will be supervised by the Federal Customs Service and the Rosselkhoznadzor.
The signed order creates conditions for the application of new norms of the federal law "On the safe handling of pesticides and agrochemicals", which were adopted at the end of 2020. According to these norms, the Rosselkhoznadzor was empowered to control the import of pesticides and agrochemicals and over the observance of the regulations for their use in the production of agricultural products. The main goal of the changes is to improve state control in the field of safe handling of pesticides and agrochemicals.
