Poland restricts export of cars over 1.9 liters – Belarus’ customs committee

Polish border guards do not allow vehicles with these characteristics to cross the border and are reportedly turning away cars whose owners cannot prove that they are in transit, the committee said, noting that restrictions may remain in force until April 1.
Reports circulating online since March 22 said that Polish customs officers did not clear cars with certain engine capacity for entry into Belarus. Drivers also complained about long queues at the border.
Poland has not formally announced any restrictions.

Currently, all passenger traffic is processed at the Terespol border crossing.
