Customs officers have seized 51,000 Mainland origin garments, with false origin labels, worth $1.5 million.

 

Officers intercepted an inbound lorry at Lok Ma Chau Control Point yesterday.

 

Meanwhile, on September 1 and 2, officers also seized a large quantity of useless garment panels on two lorries bound for the Mainland and arrested two male drivers, aged 39 and 47.

 

The goods were falsely represented as 151,700 knitted garments being delivered to the Mainland for minor finishing processes under the Outward Processing Arrangement.
