📥 “An official carrier is addressing you!
There are no queues like the ones during the two shifts at the Ustyluh customs post anywhere else! Standing in line with them, you see their smiles and hear conversations about how only at THEIR border there’s a “green light” from above.
Hundreds of small vans and large IVECOs move in two shifts, fully loaded to the brim. And at any cost they must make it for their shift…
At the same time, on the Polish side they file customs declarations for wheels, auto parts, household appliances, chemicals, cosmetics, perfumes, branded clothing, and other goods in large quantities!
Meanwhile on the Ukrainian side all of this is processed in two minutes as “personal belongings”!
When you see all of this with your own eyes, you can’t help but start wondering whether the words of the people standing in line, who smirk knowingly, are being confirmed…
Has nothing changed, and the new Head of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, like all his predecessors, apparently just bowed to the system…?
P.S. And we, ordinary carriers, are half an hour late — and we already end up in a kilometer-long queue. And on top of that we have to “let through” several vehicles because they “won’t make it”…
And on our side we hear in response from … : “Wait 10-15 minutes.
In those 10 minutes you could properly process at least 5 vans! So why are some forced to stand in queues and lose time, while exceptions are constantly found for others?
How sickening all of this is… Especially during wartime. You would think that now, more than ever, there should be justice, order, and respect!”📥
📌these photos and the letter itself were sent to us a few days ago and now, after the Prime Minister Koretskyi’s statement about “detaxing the economy,” the queues seem to have decreased. Question: are these simply non-working shifts or did they really say PAUSE, STOP?
