Yahodyn customs officers detained several batches of Ukraine's national currency, the Western Information Corporation was told by the press service of the Yahodyn customs. \n \nHryvnias are being taken out not only by Ukrainians but also by foreigners. Thus, a Polish citizen concealed 3,450 hryvnias from customs control in a folder with documents, and his compatriots were carrying a considerable sum of Ukrainian money in a wallet together with declared funds. \n \nCitizens of neighboring states – Ukraine and Poland – openly admit that they do not consider hryvnias to be an item subject to declaration. After all, with Poland's accession to the European Union, the difference in prices for essential goods became very significant. In the border towns of our state, Poles have become buyers with the highest rating, given their high purchasing power, which is why hryvnias "live" with them on par with zlotys. Of course, foreigners exchange zlotys for hryvnias, and when money remains, they take it home so as not to lose out on a repeat exchange. However, Ukrainian legislation is in force on the territory of Ukraine, and violating it entails liability regardless of citizenship.
