Chattogram customs seizes betel nut consignment for Tk32 lakh duty evasion

The Chattogram Customs House has seized a consignment of 56 metric tonne betel nuts as the importer attempted to evade duty amounting to Tk32 lakh by declaring a lower amount of goods.

A company named Khan and Sons imported 56 tonnes of betel nuts from Thailand against a declaration of 36 tonnes, said sources at the Chattogram Customs House. 

Noor A Hasna, assistant commissioner at the Audit Investigation and Research (AIR) Unit of the Chattogram Customs House, said C&F agent Merino Traders Ltd submitted a bill of entry to the customs authority to unload the consignment of Khan and Sons on August 5. 

The AIR unit and customs detectives conducted physical tests of the two containers of the consignment and found 20 tonnes of excess betel nuts requiring a duty of Tk32 lakh.
