The service itself is undoubtedly extremely necessary and useful, and especially in the current situation: at the beginning, Polish carriers began strikes on the border with Ukraine, and still continue to block checkpoints. Currently, about 3 thousand trucks are stuck in queues, at least two deaths have been recorded and there is a threat to transportation on which the national security of Ukraine directly depends, including humanitarian and military cargo. Earlier, the Association of International Road Carriers estimated the damage to the Ukrainian economy at more than 400 million euros.
It remains to remember that the current limit for duty-free import of parcels from abroad is still 150 euros.
