Customs officials from the Territorial Directorate of the Customs Company in Ruse (at the Danube) discovered numerous robotic vacuum cleaners and a mini-excavator and not using a accompanying documentation in a container transported through a freight educate, the Customs Company stated right here on Friday.
The seizure resulted from coordinated movements between the customs places of work in Burgas (at the Black Sea) and Ruse.
On April 1, 2025, following a request through the Burgas Customs Territorial Directorate, staff from the Operative Regulate Ruse sector at Ruse Customs performed an inspection of a container touring on a freight educate. In keeping with paperwork supplied through the service, the container carried groupage consignments en path from China thru Turkiye and Bulgaria to Germany.
As soon as the products had been unloaded, the customs officials discovered 801 robotic vacuum cleaners and a mini-excavator that had no longer been declared and had been lacking the specified beginning paperwork. The undeclared items had been seized, and investigations into their evidence of beginning are ongoing.
The inspection used to be a part of the Customs Company’s compensatory measures following the removing of border controls on the Ecu Union’s interior borders, after the Republic of Bulgaria used to be admitted as a complete member of the Schengen House.
