From January 17, in accordance with the decision of the board of the State Customs Service of Ukraine, the Western Regional Customs, which also included Yahodyn Customs, ceases its operations and will be transformed into Lviv Customs. Therefore, Yahodyn, Volyn, Rivne, Ivano-Frankivsk, Halytska, and Rava-Ruska customs offices will now be directly subordinated to the State Customs Service of Ukraine. This decision became a logical continuation of the work to bring the structure of the customs system into conformity with the administrative division of Ukraine. It was also prompted by numerous appeals from heads of state authorities and local self-government bodies who are concerned about problems with filling local budgets. After all, experience has shown that subordinating customs offices directly to Kyiv makes it possible to increase the level of their manageability and allows for a reduction in the administrative apparatus of the regional customs. It should be noted that the process of reorganizing the Western Regional Customs itself does not require additional financial expenditures and should be completed this year by April 18.
