Leepee 1st Gear July 4, 2008 Share July 4, 2008 http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../358051/1/.html 61-year-old man caught for smuggling tobacco By Lau Joon-Nie, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 03 July 2008 1923 hrs SINGAPORE: An arriving passenger with an awkwardly bulging waistline and unnatural gait caught the attention of customs officers at the Singapore Cruise Centre on Wednesday. A body search conducted on the 61-year-old man uncovered four packets of shag tobacco strapped to his waist. The loose tobacco, which is used for rolling cigarettes, weighed about 850 grammes. According to a statement from the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), the man claimed he had bought the tobacco for personal consumption in Batam while visiting his family there. Potential customs duty on the contraband tobacco would have amounted to S$281, and goods and services tax (GST) evaded came up to S$21. Under the law, first-time smugglers can be fined up to 20 times the amount of unpaid duty. They also face further fines based on the amount of GST evaded. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
