In the case of violations of customs rules, measures will be taken to record violations and hold persons accountable.

For the transportation of prohibited goods, or goods in volumes exceeding the non-taxable norm, a fine of UAH 1,700 is imposed. Goods, the movement of which across the customs border of Ukraine is prohibited or restricted by law, are confiscated.
