During the year, smuggling on the Polish-Belarusian border has halved. Cigarette smuggling has decreased the most.
Last year, the Polish Border Guard found half as many contraband goods on the border with Belarus as the year before last. This follows from the department’s statistics. In total, it was possible to stop the import and export of products of illegal origin in the amount of 15.5 million zlotys (about 3.8 million dollars).
The illegal import of cigarettes decreased the most. The volume of detected contraband decreased in total value by almost four times, from 24.5 million zlotys to 6.3 million zlotys. Alcohol smuggling has more than quadrupled, from 10.1 thousand zlotys to 2.5 thousand zlotys.
