YEREVAN, November 20. /ARKA/. Armenia's largest food exporting company Spayka said its truck with a batch of Armenia-made cheese has been allowed to enter the territory of Russia through a customs point Upper Lars on the Georgian-Russian border.
It said the truck with 20 tons of cheese produced by its cheese producing factory crossed the customs point into the Russian Federation after six days of waiting.
The company said the Customs Service of the Russian Federation allowed the truck into Russia after examining 10% of the batch. According to Spayka, it was the same batch that had not been allowed earlier into Russia and was brought back to Armenia.
The company said that on November 17, 2019, representatives of the Armenian State Revenue Committee together with customs representatives of the Russian Federation in Armenia visited its cheese factory to look into the full production cycle - from milk purchases to final cheese packaging.
Earlier, on November 7, Spayka said Russian customs officers at the Upper Lars border checkpoint on the Russian-Georgian border did not allow its truck with 21 tons of blue cheese produced at its recently created cheese factory into Russia for 24 days.

It produces also packaging, including boxes and pallets. The company is also engaged in the development of intensive gardens and, more recently, in the production of cheese. - 0--
