By MYBRANDBOOK
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) has seized mobile accessories, e-cigarettes, branded bags and cosmetics worth Rs 80 crore from Mundra port in Gujarat’s Kutch district and arrested two persons.
The goods were being sought to be cleared through the SEZ route, and six suspect containers were identified. The goods were concealed in a shipment of garment accessories and ladies footwear having a declared value of Rs 1.5 crore.
Upon investigating, the DRI recovered 33,138 pieces of Apple airpods/batteries, 4,800 e-cigarettes, 7.11 lakh mobile/electronic goods/accessories, 29,077 branded bags, shoes and cosmetics, 53,385 branded watches, 58,927 automobile parts, concealed in the imported goods.
The DRI said, “The value of the alleged misdeclared/smuggled goods is estimated at Rs 80 crore against the declared value of Rs 1.5 crore. Accordingly, the goods were seized under the provisions of the Indian Customs Act, 1962.”
Two people were arrested under the Customs Act and further investigations were underway. The investigation also revealed that the importers did not exist at the registered premises, and the syndicate had used various dummy importers to smuggle such goods in the past.
