Customs officials from the Territorial Directorate of the Customs Company in Ruse (at the Danube) discovered a lot of robotic vacuum cleaners and a mini-excavator and not using a accompanying documentation in a container transported by way of a freight educate, the Customs Company stated right here on Friday.
The seizure resulted from coordinated movements between the customs workplaces in Burgas (at the Black Sea) and Ruse.
On April 1, 2025, following a request by way of the Burgas Customs Territorial Directorate, workers from the Operative Regulate Ruse sector at Ruse Customs performed an inspection of a container touring on a freight educate. Consistent with paperwork equipped by way of the service, the container carried groupage consignments en course from China via 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 desired starting place paperwork. The undeclared items had been seized, and investigations into their evidence of starting place are ongoing.
The inspection was once a part of the Customs Company’s compensatory measures following the removing of border controls on the Ecu Union’s inner borders, after the Republic of Bulgaria was once admitted as a complete member of the Schengen Space.
