Four Belarusian Trucks with Smuggled Goods Seized on M1 Highway

Four Belarusian trucks carrying smuggled goods were seized by Russian customs with millions of untaxed cigarettes worth over RUB 320 million.

Four trucks from Belarus carrying smuggled goods were seized on the M1 highway by a mobile group of the Smolensk customs in Russia. They confiscated nearly 3 million packs of Belarusian cigarettes without the Russian consumption tax and excise stamps, valued at over 320 million rubles (approximately 32.58 million yuan).

According to one of the drivers, he planned to unload the goods in the Moscow area. However, the goods were not accompanied by any documents. The guarded truck was taken to a temporary warehouse while the criminal case is being resolved.

Earlier this month, officials from the Smolensk Customs seized 1 million packages of Belarusian duty-free cigarettes worth 100 million rubles (approximately 10.18 million yuan).
