Major blow to anti-smuggling efforts: 730 thousand contraband items seized
Customs Enforcement teams from the Ministry of Trade have seized approximately 730 thousand contraband items in operations conducted at the Mersin and Ambarlı customs ports.
Customs Enforcement teams examined declarations deemed risky as part of their anti-smuggling efforts.
The investigation determined that high-value commercial goods were being declared as low-value items and attempts were being made to bring them into the country through deceptive transactions and behaviors.
Following this, a detailed inspection carried out at the Mersin and Ambarlı customs ports in Istanbul resulted in the seizure of 534 thousand 940 sunglasses, 142 thousand 140 optical-style processed plastic lens glasses, 51 thousand 127 eyeglass frames, and 1,650 mops.
The investigation initiated by the Mersin and Büyükçekmece Chief Public Prosecutor's Offices regarding the incident is ongoing.
