Azerbaijan foils smuggling of large medical shipment from Türkiye VIDEO

Azerbaijani customs authorities have prevented the illegal import of a large consignment of pharmaceutical and medical products, the State Customs Committee told Caliber.Az.

According to the committee, officers of the Balakan Customs Department uncovered the violation at the Mazymgara customs post.

A vehicle transporting a shipment of sunflower oil from Türkiye was inspected using a stationary X-ray scanning system. Suspicious images detected on the monitor prompted a more thorough inspection.

As a result, customs officials discovered 83,000 units of medicines and medical supplies that had not been declared to customs authorities. An investigation has been launched into the incident.
