Smugglers declare illicit beers as smartphone accessories, excavator parts at Sabah port

PETALING JAYA: Men's singles shuttler Lee Zii Jia made a winning start in the Indonesian Open on Tuesday (June 4).

KOTA KINABALU: Smugglers tried to pass off contraband beer as consignments of smartphone accessories, household items and spare parts for excavators at the Sepanggar port near here.

Sabah Customs assistant director-general Datuk Mohd Nasir Deraman said the beers came in three containers from a neighbouring country on April 24. “The drinks have a value of RM298,442, and the unpaid duty totals more than RM1.2mil. We suspect the smugglers aimed to evade both taxes and the import procedures,” he said at a press conference on Tuesday .
