Tk 50 lakh spares seized at Benapole


Customs officials yesterday seized illegally imported motor parts worth Tk 50 lakh at Benapole port, Customs sources said.

A Customs team led by assistant commissioner Dr Shawkat Ali seized the consignment of motor parts on charges of importing it under false declaration.

Prapti Automobiles, a Dhaka-based importing agency, ordered 201 cases of motor parts from Calcutta-based G&N Export agency on June 16.

Clearing and Forwarding (C & F) agent Bakul & Brothers submitted documents at the Customs office to offload the consignment.

A case was filed in this connection.
