Nakumpiska ng Bureau of Customs - Port of Davao (BOC) ngayong Martes ang kargamentong naglalaman ng agarwood, isa sa world’s most expensive raw materials, na idineklarang wood frames para sa souvenirs.
Sa pisikal na eksaminasyon at sa pamamagitan ng x-ray scanning, nakita ang 671 piraso ng agarwood na nagkakahalagang P1.72 million na nakatakdang i-export nang walang kaukulang permits.
Pahayag ni Erastus Austria, Port of Davao District Collector, "The Port would like to thank the DENR, the PNP Aviation Security Group and Customs NAIA’s collaborative work with us, led by District Collector, Carmelita Talusan.
“We will continue to closely coordinate with them to ensure that our borders are efficiently protected from potential illegal exports of endangered trees… Certainly, we will not tolerate these acts of illegal trade in any of our airports and seaports.”
Samantala, ite-turn over ng BOC ang naturang kargamento sa Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
