In Tyumen, customs officers seized more than 56 kg of Dubai chocolate worth Br940 thousand from two passengers of a flight from the UAE. This was reported in the press service of the Federal Customs Service (FCS) on January 10.
"Two cases on administrative offenses under part 1 of article 16.2 of the CAO RF ("Non-declaration of goods") have been initiated," - noted in the message.
The violators turned out to be residents of Tyumen, who tried to spend two batches of chocolate bars of 72 and 184 pieces.
