The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) foiled an attempt to smuggle duty-unpaid cigarettes disguised as instant noodles at Changi Airfreight Centre on May 12.
In a Facebook post on Thursday (May 21), the authority said that ICA officers, acting on a tip-off from ICA’s Integrated Targeting Centre, flagged a cargo consignment declared as instant noodles.
Subsequent checks uncovered more than 9,300 sticks of duty-unpaid cigarettes concealed within the parcels.
The exhibits were referred to Singapore Customs for further investigation.
