As a result of comprehensive customs control measures carried out by officers of the General Customs Administration for Air Transport, an attempt to smuggle gold bars, mobile phones, cameras, and other goods across the customs border has been thwarted, APA reports, citing the Administration.
A customs inspection was conducted on the baggage of an Azerbaijani citizen arriving on a Sharjah-Baku flight. Undeclared items found included two mobile phones, three cameras, 10,800 foreign-made cigarettes, 16 e-cigarettes, 10 dietary supplements, a Dyson hair dryer, and other goods.
During customs inspection, suspicious behavior was observed, and a Body-Scan device was used to check the passenger. As a result, hidden items were found in his shoes, jacket pockets, and the casing of his mobile phone—a total of 90 grams of gold bars.
