“Employees of the customs post of the Brusnichnoye border crossing point of the Vyborg customs during the customs control of a truck with a trailer revealed the fact of moving collectibles undeclared in the established form,” the press service of the North-West Customs Administration quoted TASS as saying.
A case was initiated against the carrier due to the lack of a customs declaration.
It is noted that the paleontological finds detained during an attempt to illegally export are rare collection specimens.
Earlier it was reported that paleontologists have discovered the remains of a new species of marine animal of the Cambrian period.
