Anti-smuggling teams have seized K310 million in smuggled goods through Yangon International Airport and Mandalay International Airport in 1,001 cases from July last year to the present.

“We returned some smuggled goods upon payment of a fine and we destroyed some if they were deemed not suitable for public use,” said U SweLattMaung, a senior official from the Ministry of Commerce.

Mobile team collected K804 million of fines from these smuggled goods, he added.

Most cases involve trading goods other than declared or exceeding trade volume limits.
