Customs intelligence officials seized 1,300 jars of Fresh & White Beauty Cream worth an estimated Tk8 lakh from the baggage of a passenger arriving from Dubai at Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram this morning (7 November).
The 40kg consignment was seized following a tip-off, according to the Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate.
