Lviv customs officers jointly with the border guards detected illegal transportation of 1000 packs of cigarettes across the customs border of Ukraine.

Packs with cigarettes without the excise duty stamps of Ukraine were found in a freight train which was traveling from Ukraine to the Republic of Poland through the railway crossing checkpoint “Mostyska - Pshemysl”. Cigarettes were contained in the paper boxes and were carefully disguised under a layer of ore.

Identification measures involved in illegal activities are ongoing. Tobacco products were seized.
