MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. A new list of goods for parallel import, including alcoholic beverages, was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, according to the ministry’s order posted on the official website of legal information.

The list now contains certain foreign brands of wines, champagne and spirits.

"The parallel import mechanism will apply directly to alcoholic products not produced in Russia at present. Import stimulation focuses on niches where Russian production cannot yet fully meet the needs of industrial companies and end users," the Ministry said.
