All money is confiscated — what currency can be seized at the border.


When moving currency from Ukraine abroad, it is better to be cautious - customs officers can take money if everything does not go according to the rules. But that's not all, as fines can also be imposed.
What currency can easily be lost at the border
Provided the rules are followed, nothing dangerous will happen. The main thing is for Ukrainians to know that they need to prepare documents for the export of currency abroad. According to the State Customs Service, money must be declared only if the amount exceeds 10,000 euros.
'Written declaration is mandatory only if the amount exceeds the equivalent of 10,000 euros',
experts explained. If the amount is less than 10,000 euros, one can avoid unnecessary troubles. But it is worth remembering that in case of an attempt to evade declaration, money may be confiscated.
It is also necessary to have documents confirming the origin of the funds - these can be invoices, receipts from ATMs, etc. Documents are required only for amounts over 10,000 euros. If customs officers notice any violations, they can impose a fine of 20% or even seize the money.
What else is useful to know
Producing, storing, and distributing counterfeit money poses serious penalties for Ukrainians. The Criminal Code provides for imprisonment from 5 to 12 years, depending on the size of the crime. In addition, new dollar bills have additional security features.
In the thriller about traveling abroad, the main characters are customs officers who can confiscate illegally exported money. But not only this may turn out to be a problem for Ukrainians if the rules of currency declaration are not followed. The narrowing of their precious wealth leads not only to a loss of funds but also to fines and legal prosecutions. Therefore, it is worth being careful and adhering to all established rules to make traveling comfortable and problem-free.
