Smuggling of antiques: that being taken through the Ukrainian border

[gans]

Domestic demand is growing largely stable currency - the art and antiques. This year, Customs smuggling of cultural and historical values, 1,4 million UAH.

Student Alexander Danishenko, who had just arrived from Germany, stopped at the customs control zone Boryspil airport and asked to open the suitcase. It was established 228 notes: German marks at the beginning of the twentieth century and the Japanese yen in 1953. At the flea markets of Europe, such bills are not expensive - about euro apiece. In Ukraine, they can help several times. However, Customs does not hurry to give the nod to import: In addition to the person, they may have historic significance. To cope with this, the customs officers came to the aid of art Alexander Predybaylo controller.

In the customs history of studying art academies throughout, and at checkpoints without staff, experts still can not do. Their task - to identify the old books, gold ornaments, or icon, and determine whether to import or export this thing without special permission. Over the past 8 months, Ukrainian customs prevented 123 attempts to smuggle items of cultural and historical value. The leader of the illegal "imports" - notes and coins.

Elementary logic suggests that at least allow the import of tablets Hammurabi, although the mummies of pharaohs, though masterpieces by Caravaggio - in the interests of the state of Ukraine.

And how, pray, explain this one passage in the article:

In April Ukrainian woman trying to bring in Ukraine 11 engravings and 5 icons, bought in Paris ..... A month earlier, a citizen of the United States brought to our country almost a thousand coins, "The examination showed that over a third of them have cultural and historical value", - said Mr. Vasilenko.

And that these people - criminals? Well, what idiot would make such a conclusion, eh? At most, what can blame them - an attempt to evade payment of 44\%duty. But to accuse them of importing "cultural values" can only degenerate.

You may laugh, but I was in Borispol (in August), long friendly conversation "about my 15 kg (22 and 10holstov canvas 30x40-50x60 cm.) Various" fast "opment.
It was a lot of (neotnosyaschihsya to the case in my opinion) strange questions.
After 15 hours of the road (from which the air only 3 hours), after the usual sinister turn passport control was quite well out of place ...
Council: No wicker suitcases, no new cardboard boxes out of which either; no ekstravagansy anything. Gray, very modestly, obychnenko Neprimetnenko ... .. poor little - forgot to add ... (tudno, I understand, but fewer problems)

It's not so easy, the problem is not a tax, but in the mysterious phrase "cultural value". Therefore, we must prove that the object is not so in the exporting country (while being in the Ukraine) to please the price. If the price does not fit, then compare it with the "same price": eek: and a tax to pay for this is unknown what price. And that I have described only a part of and clearly, why not wait for the interest structures.
