Russians returning from Europe have their jamón, cheeses, dairy products, and meat products confiscated.

Rosselkhoznadzor banned the import of these categories of goods starting January 20 due to the threat of foot-and-mouth disease spreading.

The restrictions will last for at least a month.

"It is currently prohibited to import anything that can carry foot-and-mouth disease. Everything has been suspended for now. The restrictions will be strictly enforced for about a month, until we see whether foot-and-mouth disease spreads or not. They may be eased afterward, but they may not be," said the head of Rosselkhoznadzor.

Rosselkhoznadzor additionally noted:
The ban on importing livestock products from the EU, including sausages, ham, jamón, and cheeses, also applies to individuals importing these products for personal use.
