At the Krakivets – Korczowa crossing point, customs officers together with border guards stopped a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter minibus that was returning from Poland to Ukraine via the “green channel” lane.
The vehicle was driven by a 30-year-old resident of Rivne region. During the inspection of the vehicle interior, ten new latest-generation Apple iPhone PRO and PRO Max smartphones were found, which had not been entered in the customs declaration.
The “green channel” lane is intended for the movement of goods that are not subject to customs duties, meaning that their value when imported by road must not exceed the equivalent of 500 euros. The value of the phones discovered is estimated at around UAH 900,000.
In connection with this, customs officials drew up a report on a breach of customs regulations under Part 2 of Article 471 of the Customs Code of Ukraine.
