Customs suspect not having said all goods arrived in containers.
Indeed, they are likely to say at customs that the goods they imported into their container are for their personal needs while often only 20% are, and the rest is sold on the local market.
By doing so, importers brew an annual turnover of up to Rs 2 million to Rs 3 million.
Through investigative devices and 'third party information', it will be more difficult to evade customs. In addition, to better assist them in their tasks, performance scanners will soon be made available.
These latest scanners will better fight against the trafficking of counterfeit and other unauthorized items. The action of the customs in the fight against counterfeiting relies on a suitable position on the roads. Airports and ports are the main entry points of the infringement. The customs may thus counteract these fraudulent goods flow and initiate investigations.
