A Serbian wanted to transport a Lamborghini worth 357,000 euros from Switzerland to his home country without having declared the car at the customs office, the Ministry of Finance said on Saturday. The Serb now has to pay a total of 114,000 euros in duties – of which 35,000 euros are for customs duties and 79,000 euros for import sales tax.
The man faces a maximum fine of up to 228,000 euros, it said. Previously, officials from the highway police had become aware of the Serbs. He then stated that he was transporting two luxury cars – the Lamborghini Aventador 834 and a BMW – to Serbia for friends. Finally, the customs mobile control was called in for verification.
It then turned out that the man had not reported the cars to the customs office. They were then seized. The BMW was finally handed back to him, since no taxes had to be paid for it.
