In Tula, the court upheld the scrap collection for “repurchase”, which imported 9 cars to Russia

The Tula regional court upheld the decision to recover from the man of scrap collection and penalties. He brought 10 cars to Russia, indicated that he took them “for personal use”, and paid the fee at reduced rates. But customs checked and found out that the cars were soon sold to other people - because of this, the fee was added.

The board agreed with the first instance: the purpose of import was indicated incorrectly, so the reduced coefficients were used in vain - it was necessary to pay for increased ones.

The man’s arguments that in the previous version of government decree No. 1291 there were no clear criteria for “personal use” were rejected: this wording is certain and does not allow importers of resale machines to pay a preferential fee.

As a result, the decision of the Aleksinsky Interdistrict Court to recover the fee and penalties was upheld.

Earlier, “MK in Tula” reported that in Novomoskovsk, a man was fined 200 thousand rubles for credit fraud. In April 2025, he entered into a conspiracy with an accomplice who made fake documents for a Kia Sportage car, and issued a loan of 1.6 million rubles in Sovcombank on the security of the allegedly owned car.
