Yes, they still import goods from outside of the EU *BUT* I would imagine it's just as hard to cover all of the food needs of a country that large when so much of thier food was imported. On the news here it says that people from kaliningrad (for those that don't know - russian enclave attached to poland somewhat like how alaska is attached to canada) are basically doing grocery shopping in poland and driving back over border with trunks full of food because there is nothing on store shelves there at all anymore.
