Brest Customs Seize 9 Tons of Undeclared Food Additive, Polish Transporter Fined
Brest customs officers have intercepted a significant undeclared import at the 'Kozlovichi' border checkpoint. A Polish transporter was moving 9 tons of complex food additive used as an emulsifier, valued at over Br190,000, without declaring it. The incident has sparked an administrative process against the transporter.
The undeclared import was discovered in a Volvo truck coming from Germany. Officers found an additional 360 bags, each weighing 25 kg, of the undeclared additive. The transporter, aiming to reduce customs payments, could have saved more than Br40,000 by not declaring the goods. However, this violation may now result in a fine of up to Br57,000. The administrative process is underway under Part 1 of Article 15.5 (non-declaration) of the Code of Administrative Offenses.
The name of the Polish transport company involved in the incident is not publicly available. The seizure of the undeclared goods and the potential fine serve as a reminder of the seriousness of customs violations and the vigilance of Brest customs officers in protecting the country's economic interests.
