Seventeen men were arrested by Singaporean authorities at Sungei Jurong on Saturday for allegedly smuggling untaxed cigarettes into the country.
On January 26, 14 Indonesians and three Singaporeans, aged between 22 and 48, were intercepted by officers from the Police Coast Guard and the Singapore Customs at a joint operation, the Lianhe Wanbao (Singapore) reported.
A total of 3,740 cartons and 448 packets of duty-unpaid cigarettes were seized at the scene, with the total duty and goods and services tax (GST) evaded estimated to be about S$396,200 (US$292,726) and S$28,820 (US$21,293) respectively.
Two foreign-registered supply vessels and two Singapore-registered ones which were used by the suspects to smuggle the untaxed goods were also taken for further investigations by Singapore Customs.
Buying, selling, conveying, delivering, storing, keeping, having in possession or dealing with duty-unpaid goods are serious offenses under the Customs Act and the GST Act.
Offenders can be fined up to 40 times the amount of duty and GST evaded, and jailed for up to six years. Vehicles used in the commission of such offenses were also liable to be forfeited.

Hi there i am kavin, its my first occasion to commenting anywhere, when i
read this paragraph i thought i could also make comment
due to this sensible paragraph.
I’m really enjoying the theme/design of your blog. Do you ever run into any browser compatibility
issues? A handful of my blog visitors have complained about my
website not working correctly in Explorer but looks great in Chrome.
Do you have any advice to help fix this issue?

all website owners and bloggers made good content as

Hi there, I enjoy reading all of your article post. I wanted to write a little comment to support you.
With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues
of plagorism or copyright infringement? My website has
a lot of exclusive content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over
the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help stop content from being
ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.
