40 notifications since 1 January 2020 named Belarus as a country of origin, rank 87 of 163 origins. 7 in the 365 days to 8 November 2026, against 12 in the 365 days before, down 42%. 45% were border rejections, where the consignment was stopped at the EU's outer border, against 30% for all origins.

Counts start on 1 January 2020 and run to 8 November 2026, the day the list was last read. A notification that names two countries of origin counts for each. Findings come from our word list matched against the EU subject line, which is never shown; 96% of all notifications match it, the rest count as other finding. Each reference links to the official record on RASFF Window. How this works.
