Employees of the Bureau of Economic Security conducted searches at the warehouses of the Techno Yizhak chain of stores and seized illegally imported Apple equipment. The company was previously on the list of chains that were subject to inspections as part of the fight against the shadow electronics market in Ukraine.
Journalist Yevhen Plinsky reported on the seizure of Apple gadgets from the warehouses of Techno Hedgehog stores in Kyiv and Lviv regions. He said that the searches are related to a scheme by Lviv customs officers to import illegal phones.
«According to the investigation, illegal Apple equipment entered Ukraine in the famous «Iveco buses» without the attention of customs, and then was sent in large batches by mail to chain store warehouses. In particular, to the warehouses of «Techno Izhaka,» Plinsky noted.
Later, Yaroslav Zheleznyak, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and the head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, said that as part of the fight against the shadow electronics market, 170 actual inspections of stores that sold Apple products were currently being conducted. Among them were Yabko, Yabluka, and Techno Yizhak.
Yabko reported that after inspections, they reported on the proper payment of taxes — 257 million UAH for the last 9 months. The company assures that all its imports are carried out legally, with payment of the full tax burden. Some of the equipment is purchased from Ukrainian suppliers, the rest is imported directly, with customs clearance and documentation in accordance with the law.
