NEW JERSEY: US Customs has confiscated smuggled goods worth £20,000 from 304 passengers during a month-long anti-smuggling operation.
The New Jersey Customs has seized 40,000 cigarettes, 14 kilos of tobacco and 33 litres of spirits from passengers arriving in the island with too much duty free. Officials said that commercial tobacco smuggling was not a high risk in the Island and that the Treasury was not losing revenue worth millions of dollars.
