The vehicle, which arrived from China, was registered at the MTO "Kant" of the Northeastern Customs under a transit declaration addressed to an individual named V.Z.Y. Upon checking the VIN code, it was found that according to the international standard ISO and the EEC resolution No. 74, the tenth digit of the VIN (M) indicates the year of manufacture as 2021.

However, the forensic expert service under the Ministry of Justice confirmed that the actual year of manufacture of the vehicle is 2015. This discrepancy in the declaration led to a reduction in the amount of customs duties.
The damage caused to the state amounted to 2 million 484 thousand 898 soms. The case was registered in the Unified Register of Crimes, and the materials were forwarded to the investigative department of the State Customs Service for further investigation.
As a result of the conducted measures, the damage was fully recovered into the republican budget.
