Customs officers in Koltsovo reported how much snuff they have seized since the beginning of this year.
In March, there were 8 attempts to smuggle nasvai from Uzbekistan through the Koltsovo Airport (passenger) customs post, reported on Friday, April 2, by the public relations department of the Ural Customs Administration.
The total weight of the non-smoking tobacco product seized by customs officials amounted to 17 kilograms. The largest batches were 4.4 and 4 kilograms.
"Both foreign nationals were buying nasvai for themselves, and they were unaware that non-smoking tobacco products over 250 grams must be declared when crossing the border," explained the press service of the Ural Customs Administration.
In total, there were 18 attempts to smuggle nasvai in the first quarter of 2026, with a total weight of nearly 44 kg.
"This is twice as much as the previous year—only 8 attempts and nearly 22 kg," noted Sergey Borovik, head of the Koltsovo Airport (passenger) customs post.
