This was reported by Kommersant with reference to the Georgian edition of Business Media, which referred to the tax service of the Ministry of Finance of Georgia.

The measure was introduced in accordance with the 11th package of EU sanctions, according to which it was forbidden to import cars with an engine capacity of more than 1,900 cubic cm (1,9 liters ), as well as electric and hybrid cars to Russia.

During this period, the volume of car exports in this direction increased by 274% in annual terms, Business Media notes.
