On December 22, at the checkpoint "Uzhgorod" on the border with Slovakia, officers of the Transcarpathian Customs prevented an illegal transportation of a large batch of tobacco products to Ukraine.
Customs officers took notice of a car MERCEDES VIANO, whose driver was a foreigner with a diplomatic passport.
During the examination of the documents provided for customs control, taking into account the results of the risk analysis, the customs officers made a decision to carry out the in-depth inspection of the vehicle.
However, the man locked himself in the car and refused to provide his vehicle for a visual inspection. After lengthy negotiations, with the assistance of the consul of the country, whose citizen the foreigner was, customs officers received access to the vehicle.
As a result, customs officers found in the car 22.5 thousand packs of cigarettes "Rothmans" made in Ukraine with Ukrainian excise stamps.
At present, the customs offense, which is classiffied under Article 471 of the Customs Code of Ukraine, is being documented.
