Turkish officials seized 25,000 smuggled e-cigarette products worth approximately $100,000 from Istanbul airport.

On June 25th, Turkish customs officials seized 25,000 smuggled e-cigarette products at Istanbul's Sabiha Gökçen Airport. The estimated value of the products was 2.5 million Turkish lira (approximately 710,000 yuan).

 

According to a preliminary investigation, these products were labeled as "cosmetics and skincare products" during customs clearance.
