A joint operation between the Bureau of Customs and Department of Agriculture has resulted in the seizure of P86 million worth of smuggled sugar from Hong Kong.
The BOC and DA seized the smuggled sugar at the Subic Freeport following the inspection of some 30 containers vans purportedly carrying slipper outsoles and styrene butadiene rubber but suspected to carrying refined sugar. Customs Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio said the BOC’s continuous efforts in preventing the entry of illicit goods at the border has been very effective with the help of partner agencies. “With this, I’d like to commend the Port of Subic and remind them to remain steadfast in protecting our borders,” the Customs chief said.
“The authorities discovered a variety of smuggled frozen agricultural products, including frozen pork, frozen beef and frozen chicken, at a facility in Francisco Street, San Rafael Village, Navotas City,” DA Assistant Secretary James Layug said.
