The incident occurred at the crossing point "Luzhanka-Berehshuran" of the customs post "Luzhanka" of the Chop customs. During the customs and border control procedure, a Hungarian citizen did not declare any items prohibited or restricted for export from the customs territory of Ukraine. However, during the in-depth inspection of the car "Mersedes ML 320 CDI", in structural cavities they found more than two thousand packs of Belarusian cigarettes amounting to 180,000 UAH.
