Currently, countries of the European Union are developing the fourteenth package of sanctions measures that targets even more concentration of implementing measures on identification and suppression of schemes to circumvent existing prohibitions against Russia. Unconditionally, such approach impacts supply of goods of medical purpose that in order to bypass imposed restrictions imposed were imported within the framework of legalization of parallel import. It is worth to note that based on analysis of consumer market by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, limited number of medical supplies were included in list of goods falling under parallel import mechanism. At that, most of components for medical equipment at customs clearance are classified as separate goods without identification of their medical purposes and therefore such goods were imported under similar legalization scheme.
