Detectives Seize Millions in Untaxed E-cigarettes in Ukraine
Detectives from Ukraine's Economic Security Bureau (BES) have seized a popular brand of electronic cigarettes without paying tax during a search in the Lviv region. These goods are estimated to be worth over UAH 15 million (equivalent to approximately RMB 3 million).
It has been reported that over 47,000 electronic cigarettes without proper consumption tax receipts have been seized. The failure to pay import taxes has resulted in a loss of over 3 million GEL (approximately 559,000 RMB) to the national budget.
According to investigators, a group of individuals imported consumable goods into Ukrainian customs territory without going through clearance procedures. Electronic cigarettes were stored in a warehouse and intended to be sold to end customers through the internet and store network.
BEB stated that a pre-investigation is currently underway.
