Officers believe the HK$54 million haul of Greek cigarettes was destined to be returned to Europe as the brand is not popular in this part of the world
Hong Kong customs officers believe they have dealt a heavy blow to an international smuggling syndicate following the seizure of HK$54 million worth of contraband cigarettes which arrived from Vietnam.
The 20 million Karelia cigarettes from Greece, hidden in two shipping containers, were the city’s biggest seizure in nearly a decade, according to a senior customs official.
