According to the State Customs Service, customs officers stopped an attempt to smuggle 20 gadgets.
«Late in the evening of September 19, at the Uzhhorod Automobile customs post, customs officers discovered 20 brand new Apple iPhone 17 series phones in a passenger car that had not been declared to customs control. The goods were in factory packaging and were among the passengers' personal belongings,» the report states .
The violator turned out to be a citizen of Ukraine returning home from Austria. The man chose the «green corridor» lane, which provides for the absence of goods that are subject to declaration and taxation by customs payments. However, the value of the detected goods significantly exceeded the permitted norm. Therefore, a protocol on violation of customs rules was drawn up for this fact, and the gadgets were seized.
Ukrainian online stores are already publishing prices for the iPhone 17 and collecting pre-orders. Gadgets from the new line are also offered for purchase on OLX. What about the prices?
