“Our brokers, declarants claim that the same risks exist for cargo from Estonia and Latvia. This information needs to be verified,” he told the web portal rugrad.eu.
“We tried to ship transit cargo from Scandinavia through Poland bypassing Lithuania. However, if similar risks emerge with respect to Estonian and Latvian freight, this direction will close down completely. We will be forced to stop taking those cargoes, which will result in huge losses,” he admitted.
Throughput capacity of border check points had decreased by two or three times, he said adding that the situation with respect to Lithuanian cargo was grave and tightened checks were hardly a short-term measure.
