MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia increased imports tariffs for consumer goods, including wine, beer, candies, biscuits and shampoo, produced in countries that support sanctions against Moscow, according to a government order published late on Friday.

Russian imports from nations that imposed sanctions against Moscow over its military conflict with Ukraine slumped in 2022 and the price of imported alcohol has risen significantly.
