We have all reason to consider this order illegal, as a result of which we are taking steps to appeal it promptly.
This document directly violates the instruction of the top leadership of Russian Federation, which bans pressure on business and block of the work of Russian companies in the current conditions.

These documents will be finalized and sent to the appropriate authorities in the near future - July 12-13, 2022.
In addition, we promptly prepared schemes of operations which take into account restrictions introduced by Sheremetyevo Customs. According to the own developments, our operation and information systems, as well as rich experience (including countering attempts to block the company's activities), we will be able to minimize the damage at the moment.
Thus, Sheremetyevo-Cargo is implementing new schemes for the temporary storage of cargo handled by Sheremetyevo-Cargo (together with air carriers and partners) for the temporary storage warehouses of partners.
