Millions Worth of Smuggled Goods Seized in Argentina
Argentinian police seized $7.6k worth of smuggled goods in Corrientes, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, phones, perfumes, and cookware.

According to ELLITORAL, on July 16, smuggled goods worth 70 million Argentine pesos (approximately $76,000 USD) were seized by local police in the province of Corrientes, Argentina.


According to a court order, local police conducted inspections of 23 suspicious packages involved in smuggling. Law enforcement officers found a large quantity of prohibited items in the packages, including 7,500 packs of foreign cigarettes, 3,556 e-cigarettes, 90 cell phone modules, 156 bottles of perfume, 1 fryer, and 2 headphones. These items are all of foreign origin and did not have the necessary customs guarantees, industry basics, or stamp tax tickets required for legal entry into Argentina. They are suspected of violating relevant provisions of the Customs Code.


Local customs estimate that the market value of the seized smuggled goods this time reached a total of 70,356,000 Argentine pesos (approximately $76,300). At present, all confiscated contraband has been legally detained, and the related cases are under further investigation.
