Ukrainians began to more often earn money with certificates of cash withdrawal from bank deposits when submitting written declarations for the export of cash currency. This was reported and. Head of the State Customs Service Sergey Zvyagintsev, responding to a request from the Ministry of Finance.

In general, the number of violations for 3.5 months of this year turned out to be three times more than for the whole of 2022.

The official dynamics of the GTS regarding violations is as follows:.

2021 - 97 cases for UAH 25.59 million;

2022 - 77 cases for UAH 139.09 million;

from January 1 to April 17, 2023 - 233 cases for UAH 6.06 million.

At the same time, as can be understood from the answer, the main problem is the certificate of cash withdrawal from bank deposits. This certificate is required to provide a written declaration for the export of cash currency.

At the beginning of the big war, when there were huge queues at the border to leave, customs officers made concessions and accepted old bank certificates (older than 90 days) on withdrawing cash from bank deposits when submitting written declarations for the export of cash currency. What is required when exporting amounts from € 10 thousand. and higher.

But already at the beginning of 2023, when there were no long queues at checkpoints, employees clearly monitored that the bank certificate had no more than 90 days from the date of issue.

Commenting on this point, the State Customs Service noted to the “Ministry of Finance” that the three-month period is a requirement of the Decree of the National Bank No. 5 of January 2, 2019.

Also, now customs officers check each bank certificate for authenticity.. Namely: they call the bank to make sure that the certificate was issued by a specific employee to the individual indicated in the document.
