"At the Siret Border Crossing Point, Suceava county, a 36-year-old Ukrainian citizen arrived to complete entry formalities, driving a truck registered in Ukraine. According to the accompanying documents, he was transporting 16,100 kg of textile waste (clothing and various textile mixtures) from a company in Ukraine to a company in Bucharest. Due to suspicions regarding the legality of the transport, the joint control team, made up of border police and customs inspectors, requested authorised support from the Suceava Environment Guard. Following the checks, it was determined that the goods could not enter Romanian territory because the transporter did not have all the necessary documents," the Border Police officials mentioned.
