These goods were imported through illegal bonds where the importer enjoyed zero percent tax facility even though he was supposed to pay tax for the import.
The Customs authority, however, sealed the factory as the factory owners failed to show any kind of legal supporting documents for the goods.
Another team lead by CBC Deputy Commissioner Fakhrul Amin Chowdhury conducted a drive in Hazaribagh area.
They seized five covered vans loaded with illegal poly-propylene films from the area.
