In Kyrgyzstan, illegal importation of BYD E5 cars with understated year of manufacture was detected

Employees of the North-Eastern Customs revealed a violation in the importation of BYD E5 cars from China.

Nine cars arrived to Kyrgyzstan at the ‘Automobile’ ITO, the year of manufacture of which was specified in the shipping documents as 2020. This allowed the importer to be exempted from paying VAT and customs duties in accordance with the legislation. However, the customs inspection found that the real year of manufacture of the cars was 2018.

According to the Forensic Expert Service under the Ministry of Justice of the Kyrgyz Republic, the amount of unpaid customs duties totalled KGS 2.5 million. The materials were transferred to the Investigation Department of the State Customs Service for further proceedings.
