Belarusian customs creates database of IMEI-codes

Belarusian customs is finishing the creation of a database of cell phones’ IMEI-codes. The deputy head of the State Customs Committee Uladzimir Hoshyn informed about it. Every legally imported cell phone will be added to that database. It will be open to general use: every importer or third buyer wishing to sell mobile phones in our country will be able to look through the database and check if the imported phone is legal or not.

Let us remind you that importers are obliged to show the IMEI-codes of cell phones starting from January 1, 2007. This decision is one of the measures aimed at prevention of illegal import of cell phones.
