BERLIN: The Bureau of Customs’ (BOC) Intelligence Group (IG) has seized 57 shipping containers of smuggled sugar from Thailand worth over P85 million, the biggest haul of illegally imported sugar confiscated by the bureau this year in terms of volume and value.
This brought to more than P284 million the amount of smuggled sugar seized by the BOC since January, Deputy Customs Commissioner Jessie Dellosa said.
The BOC identified the consignee and broker of the shipment as Global Classe Marketing and Commercial Corp., with offices at F.B. Harrison Street, Pasay City, and Rolando Crave, respectively.
