In Tyumen, customs officers seized 56 kg of Dubai chocolate

According to his words, one of the criminals had with him 72 bars of “Fex DUBAI CHOCOLATE” and “Fix DESSERT CHOCOLATE” chocolate, the second, 184 bars of “Fix DESSERT CHOCOLATE”.

The men admitted that they bought chocolate for retail trade in Tyumen, but had no intention of declaring the goods, the Federal Customs Service reports. Two administrative proceedings have been initiated against them for not declaring the goods (part 1 of article 16.2 of the Administrative Code).

The court has already examined one of the cases and ordered the confiscation of 72 chocolate bars. The press service of the courts of the Tyumen region previously reported that in October 2024, a passenger from Dubai named Aminjon was detained at customs at Roshchino airport. He imported 72 undeclared chocolate bars into Russia, weighing 230 grams each. The report says that at trial, Aminjon agreed that he had broken the law. However, there he explained that he had brought candy as a gift for relatives and did not know that it was necessary to fill out a declaration.

A decision has not yet been made on the second batch of chocolate.

In October 2024, sales of Dubai chocolate in Russian markets increased significantly. The Moneyplace platform recorded that from October 1 to 20, 2024, Dubai chocolate sales amounted to 5.4 million rubles for 4.2 thousand bars from the Wildberries market warehouse and more than 350 thousand from the Ozon market warehouse. However, there were problems: some buyers complained about counterfeits, while for others the chocolate caused allergic reactions, including angioedema.
