ST. PETERSBURG, April 23 (Xinhua) -- The Customs of the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, bordered by Poland and Lithuania, expects a fourfold increase in the workload on checkpoints during the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

The largest automobile checkpoint in the region, Mamonovo-2, has already introduced the tax free system, which is currently being tested in several regions of the country.

Kaliningrad will host four games during the 2018 FIFA World Cup: on June 16, 22, 25, and 28. Enditem
