They sometimes buy goods that, during inspection, are then not allowed to bring into the territory. work out: this is possible, this is impossible," explained the head of the department of the Investigative Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Askar Tlegenov.
