Dubai custom officers helps Japan to seize USD 310 million of drugs shipment

Abu Dhabi: Dubai Customs has assisted Japanese customs authorities in intercepting a significant quantity of illicit drugs. Up to 700 kilogrammes of “methamphetamine” powder, valued at approximately USD 310 million, were concealed within a cargo ship originating from an Asian country and bound for Japan.

The successful operation led to the



apprehension of both the cargo ship and the illegal drugs at Tokyo Port. This seizure stands as the second-largest drug confiscation ever made in Japan.

This successful joint effort is part of Dubai Customs’ ongoing support to combat drug trafficking globally. Their commitment to confronting customs risks and curbing smuggling has earned international acclaim.
