The ETCB will commence a seamless transition to full customs control starting on 8 August

Following the 4 July decision of the Estonian Government, the Estonian Tax and Customs Board (ETCB) will commence, as of 8 August, to increase the capacity of controls of persons travelling and goods being transported to the Russian Federation via Narva, Luhamaa, and Koidula border crossing points to gradually prepare for a seamless transition to the new system. The ETCB asks all persons crossing the border to ensure that they do not carry prohibited goods and to set aside more time for crossing the border.
