A powerful blow to illegal trade and smuggling has been dealt during routine controls at the entrance of the Border Cross in Vllmica. Kosovo Customs officials have prevented the introduction of a large amount of undeclared goods, whose value catches high financial numbers.
It becomes known that it is about a transport truck, which, although according to official documentation, had carried out customs procedures through the pre-achieve statement, has ended up in additional control after selecting from risk management parameters.
Once at the border point, the customs official has demanded that the vehicle be subject to detailed control with scanners, as well as official weight measurements.
How was incompatibility revealed?
In cross – balance verification, huge differences between the weight stated on paper and the actual weight of the tool are recorded. The difference went to about 10 tons of completely undeclared goods.
This dispute has prompted officials to immediately order a more detailed control of the entire shipment.
According to official estimates, the value of undeclared goods without including duties and import taxes is estimated to be about $15,000.
Legal Processing Begins
The case is continuing with administrative procedures in line with Code No provisions. 08/L-247 for Customs and Achciza.
From Kosovo Customs they have reconfirmed their commitment to efficient controls and use of risk mechanisms, with the aim of preventing smuggling, fighting illegal trade and protecting the country’s financial interests.
