The Ministry of Industry and Trade decided to add American lenses to the list of parallel imports

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation will expand the list of parallel imports of contact lenses brands Johnson & Johnson, Alcon Laboratories Inc. and Bausch & Lomb in the next two weeks.

It is noted that the decision to include lenses in the list of parallel imports was made due to the need to provide the Russian market with products.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade clarified that the products of these manufacturers will be excluded from the list of parallel imports if official supplies of their goods continue.

Formerly MK wrotethat the largest foreign lens suppliers may leave the Russian market.
