Tobacco worth €320k seized at Dublin Port

Illegal tobacco worth €320,000 has been seized at Dublin Port, Revenue have confirmed.

It was found yesterday, when officers searched two separate shipments that arrived from Belgium as part of an intelligence-led investigation.

The tobacco had wrongly been labeled 'motor parts'.

These seizures are part of Revenue's ongoing operations targeting the supply and sale of illegal tobacco products in the so-called 'shadow' economy.

last month, Revenue officers in Dublin Port seized over a tonne processed tobacco that had arrived into Dublin Port in a shipment from China.
