Non-Declaration of Goods is a customs violation that occurs when a business representative fails to inform customs authorities about goods subject to mandatory declaration under Ukrainian law.
According to Article 257 of the Customs Code of Ukraine (CCU), everyone crossing the border must declare goods if:
- their value exceeds the established norms;
- they are subject to special control.
For businesses, this is especially important, as any incorrect declaration can lead to serious consequences: fines, confiscation of goods, or other sanctions.
When Do Disputes Arise Due to Non-Declaration of Property?
Customs authorities have significant powers to detect errors or violations in customs declarations.
The most common situations that may cause disputes include:
Non-Declaration of Goods or Vehicles.
If a business representative fails to declare a good or vehicle, it is considered a violation under Article 472 of the CCU.
Consequences:
- a fine of 100% of the value of the goods or vehicle;
- confiscation of property.
False Information About the Value or Origin of Goods
If the declaration contains incorrect information about the value or origin of goods, this is also a violation under Article 485 of the CCU.
Consequences:
- a fine of up to 300% of the unpaid customs duties.
