The items recovered from this smuggling attempt included 23 iPhones, 4 Ipads, 4 Sony cameras, and one wireless set, all of which were found in a bag sent from Dubai to Lahore. DC Customs, Saqib Warraich said that these items were to be dispatched from Lahore to Islamabad through Lahore Airport’s domestic departure.
The smuggled items have been taken into custody and all airlines have been directed to check bags at the Lahore airports before they are dispatched to their destination.
Last month, the customs authority recovered clothes being smuggled to Karachi which were worth millions of rupees. Following the discovery, raids were conducted in Karachi in which the customs preventive anti-smuggling organization recovered 45,000 kgs of non-duty paid clothes.
The raids took place around areas of Lyari, Metha Dar, and Mandir Wali Gali, and the estimated value of these clothes was reportedly Rs 120 million.
How was it illegal when you charge a gawd d-amn tax to use it on Pakistani networks?
Yeah, I have the same question
Is it illegal to bring iPhones in Pakistan?
They will stop you from doing any kind of legal business telling you to do it in proper way but that way will be blocked. They will create hurdles everywhere. But if u do illegal things then they will help you and you will be supported everywhere with paying small amounts. Our great tragedy.
