A passenger on a Ekaterinburg-Sharjah flight tried to take almost 3 million rubles out of the country. the 60-year-old man was planning to buy a car in the UAE. The sales consultant told him that he could not take out of the country the amount exceeding 10 thousand dollars and advised him to take a part of the sum in rubles. However, the car sales consultant turned out to be unfamiliar with customs regulations. The amount in any currency exceeding 10 thousand dollars at the Central Bank exchange rate on the day of departure is subject to declaration
Trusting the car salesman, the passenger took 9 thousand dollars, 1.9 million rubles and 15 thousand dirhams and entered the “green” corridor. When it turned out that the total amount exceeded 10 thousand dollars, the man offered to fill out a declaration. However, it is no longer possible to do it in the “green” corridor
“Crossing the line of the customs control zone in the “green corridor”, the passenger declares that he has no goods subject to declaration. Thus, by entering the “green” corridor with such an amount he committed an offense. I should note that the inspector, who always stands at the entrance to the customs control zone, will help you choose the right corridor. In addition, the customs officer will always help you fill out a declaration to speed up the process and catch the plane,” emphasized the head of the Koltsovsky customs office named after V.A. Sorokin Sergey. Sergey Balandin emphasized
The court found the man guilty and imposed a fine of 460 thousand rubles. And if you pay the fine within 20 days you can do it with a 50% discount. Thus, the attempt to illegally export cash cost the man 230 thousand rubles
