The road is also blocked near the border crossing point Rava-Russkaya - Grebennoe. Thus, a group of activists expresses their protest against new amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine, which began to operate from the beginning of 2018.
As reported by Zahid. net, a group of activists blocked the passage, informing the incoming police that they would soon go on a large-scale campaign, blocking all checkpoints in the region.
However, the protesters decided to avoid possible quarrels and fights with drivers and decided to skip every 10 minutes for ten cars that go to the border crossing point.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the Verkhovna Rada on December 8 adopted amendments to the Tax Code, which significantly tightened the rules for the importation of goods from abroad.
So, according to them, without a duty to Ukraine, you can import goods in manual or accompanying baggage for up to 150 euros, and at airports - up to 100 euros and weighing up to 50 kg. However, such regulations only apply to those citizens who cross the border no more than once in three days and have been absent for more than 24 hours. If these rules are not complied with, without a tax to Ukraine, you can bring the goods only for up to 50 euros.
