According to Herianto, Chief of Information and Customs Duties Consultation and Information Service at the Bandanampang Customs, tobacco products with an estimated total value of 48.5 billion rupees (approximately 58,093,300 US dollars) were destroyed, while potential national losses of around 39 billion rupees (approximately 46,713,498.00 US dollars) were successfully prevented.
