Customs authorities have seized 10 trucks carrying nearly 73 tonnes of duplex board in Old Dhaka's Nayabazar area, days after the consignment imported duty-free under bond facilities went missing from its designated route to Khulna.The Customs Intelligence and Investigation Directorate (CIID) conducted the raid overnight on August 28, recovering nine trucks loaded with roughly 73 tonnes of duplex board and a tenth carrying unidentified goods, according to a press release issued today.The shipment was originally destined for a bonded warehouse in Khulna, but the consignment strayed from the route and ended up in Nayabazar, where preparations were underway to unload and sell the goods in the local wholesale market.Import and transport documents show the goods were imported by Sri Flexopack Ltd of Khulna from Indian exporter Mehali Papers Pvt Ltd.Under bond facility rules, duty-free raw materials must be delivered to the importing company's approved factory or warehouse and used solely for production.Diverting such goods to another warehouse or market, unloading them for open sale, transferring ownership, or using them for any purpose outside approved production activities constitutes a breach of bond conditions and may amount to duty and tax evasion.The CIID said that the responsibility of the individuals and companies involved will be determined only after the investigation is complete, documents are verified, and statements are recorded.Authorities are also working to track down a truck that escaped during the raid, identify potential buyers or wholesalers, and dismantle the wider network believed to be behind the operation.
