Personnel of the operative and search units of Sumy Border Guard Detachment received information about illegal movement across the Russian-Ukrainian border from the territory of Russia of cargo, which had to be transported to Kiev for further sale.

The joint interagency group included the staff of the State Border Guard Service, Security Service of Ukraine and the State Fiscal Service. The citizen of Ukraine, recipient of the parcel, was detained in one of the postal operators office in Kyiv during the receipt of the cargo.

In total, the man received 32 boxes of hookah tobacco. All the goods (more than 6000 packs) didn’t have Ukrainian excise duty marks. The estimated cost of the goods is about UAH 650 thousand.

At present, administrative materials under Art. 1645 (storage or transportation of alcoholic beverages or tobacco products without excise duty stamps) of the Code of Administrative Offenses have been prepared. Verification activities are ongoing.

The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in close cooperation with other law enforcement agencies continues to take systematic measures to counteract illegal activities at the state border.
