The Jordan Customs Department (JCD) on Sunday said its personnel thwarted an attempt to smuggle around 152,000 cartons of different brands of cigarettes into the country.The owner of three containers, which arrived at Aqaba Port from China, claimed that the contents included medical beds, a senior JCD official said.“Our agents became suspicious of the containers’ contents and decided to conduct a thorough search,” the JCD official told The Jordan Times.
The search yielded 3,040 boxes that contained the smuggled cartons of cigarettes, according to a JCD statement.
