Customs dept to crackdown on illegal cigarettes
The Customs Department will launch an “Ops PACAK” next year to go aggressive against the smuggling in of contraband cigarettes. The launch also comes in the wake of the department having seized 20.63 million illegal cigarette sticks with a tax value of RM10.33million in an anti-smuggling operations in 2013. Customs Department Deputy Director General (Enforcement and Compliance) Datuk MatrangSuhaili said this was the highest amount of such seized contraband in the country. He said smuggled cigarettes deprived the country of RM1.9billion in tax revenue and urged public cooperation to put a stop to such activities.
