The port of Marseille
in France,
has been experiencing severe traffic congestion since the 18 September.
The mounting congestion is preventing the docking and unloading of containers
in a timely manner at the port
of Fos-sur-Mer.
Since Monday, 20 September, a number of carriers have been unable to access
cargo & collect any containers from the port. This will continue until the
situation improves.
Furthermore, a strike is likely to start from 1 October.

A new customs union between Russia,
Belorussia, and Kazakhstan was
adopted on July 1, 2010 introducing new customs regulations. Those new customs
regulations severely restricted the type of household goods and personal
effects that could be imported temporary duty-free by foreign citizens leading
to a significant increase in customs duties that often far exceed the cost of
the move itself.
Based on a recent meeting of Russian Customs officials, unofficial sources
are discussing the possibility that the Russian government is expected to waive
import customs duties for household goods shipments imported by foreign
citizens on a temporary basis. An official release is expected shortly but the
precise details of the decision are unknown at this time.
