Violators face a fine of 170 UAH to 17,000 UAH, plus 300% of the unpaid customs duties, the "Znay.ua" warns.

"Customs offices of the SFS together with the territorial divisions of the National Police of Ukraine are carrying out joint inspections to identify vehicles that have been imported or are staying in the customs territory of Ukraine in violation of customs legislation. If necessary, joint mobile teams will be formed for inspection of roads to detect the vehicles stay in in Ukraine in violation of customs laws", - the State Fiscal Service reported.

- a warning or a fine of 170 UAH (excess of not more than 1 day);

- a fine of 3,400 UAH (excess of more than 1 day, but no more than 10 days). But if a person has already been fined for such offense over the past year, he or she faces a fine of three hundred untaxed minimum incomes (5,100 UAH);

- a fine of 8,500 UAH (excess of more than 10 days).

"In case of excess of the period for temporary importation of goods into the customs territory of Ukraine or the period for temporary export of goods outside the customs territory of Ukraine for more than ten days, Article 481 of the Customs Code of Ukraine provides for liability in the form of a fine of one thousand untaxed minimum incomes of citizens (17,000 UAH)," - the tax service added.
