For shippers operating through the Amur River crossings, the closure means a forced reorientation to land border crossings — primarily Zabaikalsk — Manchuria and Pogranichny — Suifenhe — before the opening of the winter ice crossing or the resumption of navigation in the spring. The dates of the opening of the ice formation and, accordingly, the possible resumption of some directions are not specified in official reports. Participants in foreign economic activity planning deliveries through the Amur crossings in November and December should coordinate alternative routes with carriers and customs representatives in advance.
