The MCS recently confiscated 1.7 million cigarettes concealed in 173 cartons during an anti-smuggling operation, with the shipment valued at MVR 1.6 million and incurring import duty of MVR 5.6 million. The seizure followed court-authorized searches at five locations in Hulhumalé, and comes after a previous customs interception of 200 master cartons mis-declared as tissue paper.
