The work of checking to ensure that Russian iron and steel is not smuggled into Sweden or exported to Russia is putting pressure on the Swedish customs. In the fall, the authority was forced to go on high alert, reports SVT.

EU sanctions that came into effect in September mean that all products containing iron or steel must be checked at the border. Since the sanctions were introduced, over 26,000 packages of suspected sanction goods have been checked.

The work is time-consuming and has resulted in having to prioritize other things, says Anna-Lena Heinänen, deputy department head at Customs, to SVT.
