Nasabat ng Bureau of Customs (BOC) ang 2,520 reams ng sigarilyo na tinatayang aabot sa halagang P4 million na idineklarang paper hand towels, sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).

Ayon sa BOC, bound for Australia ang naturang reams ng sigarilyo.

Saad pa ng BOC, “Records show that the shipment was commissioned for export by a local company based in Novaliches, Quezon City, to South Geelong Victoria, Australia.”

Napag-alaman umano na ang idineklarang paper hand towels ay mga sigarilyo sa isinagawng physical examination ng Trade Control Examiner.

Pahayag pa ng BOC, naghain na rin ng Warrant of Seizure and Detention (WSD) laban sa mga sangkot sa naturang shipment sa paglabag sa Section 1400 (Misdeclaration) at Section 1113 (Property Subject to Seizure and Forfeiture) in relation to Section 117 (Regulated Importation and Exportation) of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.
