For many inhabitants of the Polish and Ukrainian borderland, the border crossing point is the core or only source of income. Day to day, both Poles and Ukrainians queue long hours to bring oil, alcohol, and cigarettes to the EU territory. Due to the price discrepancies, the cigarettes are usually sold to crime organizations who disseminate the items throughout the whole community. Everyday custom officers confiscate thousands of cigarette packages and other goods hidden in cars.
