Russian Industry and Trade Minister Anton Alikhanov said the value of goods brought in through the parallel import mechanism could total about $20.5 billion in 2026. The figure was approximately $12.2 billion in the first seven months and may reach $13.8 billion for January-August. He called the decline in volumes a natural trend as domestic production expands and alternatives from friendly countries replace goods from unfriendly ones.
