700,000 cigarettes concealed in a tea cargo are seized by Qatar Customs for tax evasion.
A large quantity of cigarette cartons were concealed within shipments of tea, however the Maritime Customs Department, represented by the Hamad Port Customs Department, foiled an attempt to transport outlawed tobacco products.
Customs said that the tobacco substance reached a total weight of 3,250 kg in a number of social media posts. Along with this, the authorities also impounded a sizable amount of cigarettes that were concealed in a shipment of tea in order to avoid paying taxes and customs fees. Seven hundred thousand cigarettes were seized in all.
Customs officials are given all available tools, such as the newest gadgets and ongoing training to analyze passenger body language and be knowledgeable about the most recent smugglers’ techniques.
