More than 20 tons of clothing from Kyrgyzstan detained in Tyumen

Russian customs officers detected more than 20 tons of illegal children’s clothing in a truck traveling from Kyrgyzstan to the city of Tyumen for further sale. The press service of the Tyumen Customs reported.

During customs control on Russia-Kazakhstan border, a mobile group of customs officers found more than 76,000 units of children’s suits and sweatpants of foreign origin in a heavy truck. In addition, the accompanying documents contained incorrect information: the name and trademark of the goods did not correspond to reality.

«Based on the results of the inspection, the goods were recognized as illegally moved across the customs border of the EAEU and seized by the customs authority. The inspected person was offered to exercise the right to customs declaration of goods with the payment of customs duties and taxes established by the current federal law on customs regulation,» Deputy Head of the Tyumen Customs Alexander Voronov said.

The entrepreneur declared the goods and paid customs duties and taxes in the amount of more than 10.2 million rubles. The goods have been returned to the recipient in full.
