An attempted smuggling of tobacco products from Ukraine was prevented in the customs control area of the customs post "Vylok" of the Transcarpathian customs office. The cigarettes were carried by our compatriot in a Volkswagen.
The citizen of Ukraine was undergoing customs control in the "green corridor" on his way from Ukraine to Italy. During oral questioning, the citizen denied having any goods, including those subject to declaration, and said that he was not carrying any goods hidden from customs control.
Based on signs of presence of specially manufactured caches in the vehicle, customs officers decided to conduct an in-depth customs inspection of the vehicle. In the double floor of the car, customs officers found 600 packs of cigarettes hidden from customs control. All the found the cigarettes were domestically produced, with excise stamps of Ukraine. The value of the found tobacco products, according to the labels on the packs, is almost 24 thousand UAH. The cost of the vehicle is almost UAH 214 thousand.
Thus, the citizen of Ukraine committed acts aimed at moving goods across the customs border of Ukraine concealed from customs control, ie using specially manufactured caches.
These actions have signs of violation of customs rules under Article 483 of the Customs Code of Ukraine. The goods, that are direct objects of the violation of customs regulations, and the vehicle with specially manufactured caches used to conceal goods were seized. Sanction of the article provides for seizure of the cigarettes, the vehicle as well as fine in amount of 100% of the cost of the tobacco products.
