Do not fall prey to automobile smugglers and lose both wealth and the car, when vehicle imports are still strictly banned in the country! Sri Lanka Customs warned the public yesterday.
A senior Customs official said a trend is being observed about dismantled luxury and expensive cars being shipped into the country in the recent past where the smugglers attempt to clear them through the authorities by various ways and means.
Customs Revenue Task Force (RTF) foiled several attempts to import expensive cars dismantled and packed inside containers without declaring to the Customs.
The latest such attempt was thwarted yesterday when the ocials of the Customs RTF seized a reconditioned Toyota Prius in full body shell form packed inside a 40-foot container that arrived from Japan.
