24 hidden Starlink Mini terminals found in a bus from Poland

Suspicious batch of equipment in scheduled transport

Customs authorities documented an attempt to illegally import a batch of satellite terminals into Ukraine. The incident occurred at the “Krakivets – Korchova” border crossing, where a scheduled bus from the Republic of Poland arrived on the “Karlovy Vary – Kyiv” route.

Driver’s declaration did not match scanning results

The vehicle was driven by a 47-year-old man residing in the Lviv region. In his customs declaration, he stated that he had no goods subject to mandatory declaration and tax payment. However, technical control equipment recorded anomalies during the bus scan, prompting customs officers to conduct a detailed inspection.

Devices were hidden in the driver’s sleeping area

After dismantling plywood panels built into the structure of the driver’s sleeping area, customs officers found 24 Starlink Mini terminals. The equipment was concealed in this manner to avoid detection during a visual inspection.

Administrative liability

The estimated value of the undeclared batch found is 500,000 hryvnia. Based on the evidence collected, a protocol for violation of customs rules was drawn up in accordance with Part 1 of Article 483 of the Customs Code of Ukraine.
