Mobile Cargo-Scanning Units Go Live at Key Border Crossings

New equipment enables non-intrusive inspection on Romania, Slovakia and Poland routes

1. Deployment Overview

Border corridor Checkpoint Scanner status
Romania Porubne – Siret • Orlivka – Isaccea Operational
Slovakia Uzhhorod – Vyšné Nemecké Operational
Poland Krakivets – Korczowa • Yahodyn – Dorohusk Operational

All systems passed final acceptance tests in May and are now screening export-import traffic.


2. Capability Highlights

  • Through-cargo X-ray — Trucks remain sealed; inspections occur in minutes.

  • Risk profiling — Image-analysis software flags anomalies for secondary checks.

  • Reduced dwell time — Faster throughput eases congestion at busy crossings.


3. Training Programme

  • Operator certification — Customs staff receive hands-on modules covering image interpretation and rapid threat response.

  • Train-the-trainer track — Selected officers complete an advanced course to cascade instruction across regional posts.


4. Border-Management Context

  • Security enforcement — Non-intrusive tech supports detection of contraband and sanctions-sensitive goods.

  • Infrastructure works — Concurrent renovations continue at Krakivets-Korczowa and other checkpoints; scanners mitigate disruption by streamlining flows.

The State Customs Service views the mobile units as a step toward modern, risk-based border control while maintaining throughput on vital trade routes.
