Azerbaijanis have attempted to deceive Russia authorities by presenting a shipment of Dutch cheese as "Azerbaijani."

In Moscow, the Russian Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Supervision suspended the registration of 20,010 kg of cheese that was received from Azerbaijan.

When removing the protective layer of wax on the cheese, the marker of another manufacturer—presumably from the Netherlands—was found, and this marker is not authorized to be supplied to the EAEU territory.

The movement of this shipment has been suspended until the veterinary services of Azerbaijan and the Netherlands clarify these facts.
