According to a report by TRIBUN-MEDAN on October 20th, the Belawan Customs Supervision and Service Office (KPPBC) in the Ashan district, Palm Beach Township, and Denjang Balai Town in Indonesia destroyed confiscated contraband at a customs warehouse square, including a significant quantity of illegal cigarettes.
Customs officer Ashari said, "A total of 4 million cigarettes, 39 motorcycle tires, 2000 pieces of processed food and shampoo, along with 15 boxes of other items, were confiscated.
The recent destruction campaign eliminated all confiscated contraband from May 2021 to June 2023, with a total value reaching 800 million rupees. These illicit smuggling activities have caused a loss of approximately 4.6 billion rupees to the nation. Ashari highlighted that these smuggled second-hand garments may disrupt the domestic textile industry and result in anticipated losses for local businesses in Indonesia.
He concluded by stating, "In every instance of illicit goods confiscation, the majority consists of illegal cigarettes and second-hand clothing, which has become a clear directive from the Indonesian President regarding the handling of illegal imports of second-hand clothing.
