At the airport, customs officers found an undeclared ring worth 6 million rubles in a female passenger's possession

When importing goods into the customs territory of the EAEU by air, if their value exceeds the equivalent of 10 thousand euros, they must be declared by submitting a passenger customs declaration, and customs duties must be paid.

If you are taking jewelry and valuables out of Russia and plan to bring them back, you should submit a passenger customs declaration when exporting them. This will make it possible to identify the goods and avoid paying customs duties upon re-import.

 The passenger was stopped in the “green” channel for a random inspection. During a customs inspection of her bag, inspectors found a silver-colored ring with large stones.

An expert examination established that the jewelry was made of 950-grade platinum with diamond inserts. The item was seized.

A case was opened under Part 1 of Article 16.2 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (failure to declare goods). The article provides for a fine of between one-half and twice the value of the goods.
