Last summer some Russians, traveling in their cars to Germany, faced tough security checks at customs. In early July, German customs confirmed that the import of passenger vehicles from Russia is prohibited under Article 3i of Regulation 833/2014, which requires an embargo against Russia. This prohibition applies to any movement of goods, whether for personal or non-commercial purposes.
The aforementioned decision has raised concerns among legal experts as Article 3i prohibits the import or transfer of Russian goods to European countries listed in Annex XXI that would generate substantial revenue for Russia.
Russian lawyers have questioned whether the German customs law is the result of misinterpretations that do not distinguish between entering the country with personal use vehicles and importing them.
