Please note:

Belarussian regulations on alcoholic beverages are currently (as of October 4, 2011) undergoing review by the relevant authorities, as part of the integration process of the Customs Union between Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Russia.  TTB will update this page once the Customs Union publishes new regulations on alcohol product safety.  In the meantime, it is strongly suggested that exporters arrange to have their products imported by an experienced Belarussian importer as regulations are subject to change quite frequently, as well as to ensure that shipments have all their required documentation.
