According to the leader of the Customs Enforcement Team, for this case, the smuggling is clearly shown when only a used crawler excavator was declared on the Customs declaration, but dozens of tons of smuggled goods were hidden behind a partition inside the container by smugglers.
In addition, the company no longer operates at the business registration address, and the business director does not reside at the registered permanent address. The Customs authority has completed the dossier and is considering criminally prosecuting the case to expand investigations.
