FAISALABAD: The Anti-Smuggling Organization (ASO) Faisalabad has confiscated 399 crates of foreign origin Rani Juice being smuggled from Karachi into Faisalabad. The expiry date of the seized juice is 10-04-2018 while market value of the juice is Rs472122 involving customs duty and taxes of Rs72044.
Sources told Customs Today that Deputy Collector Uzma Tariq directed the Anti-Smuggling Organization about the smuggling of Rani juice. After receiving this information, Deputy Collector immediately constituted a raiding team comprising Superintendent Dilawar Hussain, Inspector Masood Saeed Chohan and Sepoy Muhammad Hayat, Muhammad Ashraf, Muhammad Yasin and Muhammad Anwar.
The ASO team raided a godown of a Truck Adda named M/s Azad Sindh Punjab Goods Transport Network Company near Rehmania Mills, Jhang Road, Faisalabad. During a thorough checking of the godown, ASO team impounded 2298-kg bottles of Rani juice (399-crates).
The team asked Muhammad Farooq-ul-Hassan Munshi of Truck Adda about the legal status of the goods. He showed two bilties bearing No: 4426 and 4428 dated 21-4-2017 without a bill of entry. He could not prove the legal status of the imported goods. So ASO team seized the juice and registered a case against the accused persons.
