NEW DELHI: Indian customs recalled red sanders container worth Rs10.8 million to Jebel Ali Port, Dubai via Tuticorin harbor.
On the arrival of the container, it was scanned and moved to Vilsons Container Freight Station.
A team of customs officials went to Vilsons Container Freight Station and found that the container had been stuffed with 4.03 tonnes of red sanders logs, a prohibited item for export. It was seized immediately.
“This is the first occasion in the recent past wherein a container had been recalled by the customs after it had left the Indian shores and found loaded with contraband, worth about Rs. 1.81 crore,” Suresh Nandanwar, Additional Commissioner, said. Further investigations are on.
