In total, there are 98 VET in the system, of which 68 are republican and 35 are departmental.
This service cannot be imagined without modern working conditions. Therefore, the transport and logistics center “Bobruisk-Beltamozhservice” is located in our city.

Mogilev Customs has been taking part in this large republican pilot project from October 12, 2020. PTO “Bobruisk-Beltamozhservice” took part in it among the first in the country. The essence of the project is that separate declarations for goods submitted from the placement of goods under customs clearance for internal use are sent to customs clearance points, technologies for remote release of goods and a mechanism for automatic distribution of customs documents both between customs clearance points and and between authorized persons performing customs operations within the same customs control. Automatic “selection” of the PTO is carried out taking into account the analysis of the loaded persons of the customs authorities at the time of filing such a declaration for goods. In this case, the physical control of goods, if necessary, is carried out in customs clearance, in which the declared goods are located. As part of the project for 2021, Bobruisk TP produced more than 33 thousand batches of goods, which is 25.5% more compared to the same period in 2020.
