Officers intercepted a container from Haiphong at the Kwai Chung Customhouse Cargo Examination Compound. Import documents claimed the 40-foot container was carrying pillowcases.
“When officers opened the container for inspection, they found about 5,300kg of suspected illicit tobacco that had not yet been rolled into cigarettes, loaded with 146 cartons of pillows and pillowcases,” Romy Cheuk Yu-sing, the divisional commander of the Ports and Maritime Command overseeing containerised cargo, said. He added the haul had a duty potential of about HK$12 million.
