South African Revenue Services (SARS) customs officials have seized illegal cigarettes worth R 10 million at the Durban harbour
The bust by customs officials this past weekend was based on information received about a container that was imported from an East Asian country with contents declared as tissue paper.
It follows an operation in Cape Town a few days ago when illegal cigarettes to the value of R6 million were seized, bringing the total value of the two seizures to R16 million.
The vessel was delayed at outer anchorage and the container was only released on 16 July due to the deadly violence and unrest in KwaZulu-Natal.
