Dubai Customs Thwarts $310 Million Meth Shipment to Japan
Dubai Customs assisted Japanese customs authorities in intercepting a significant quantity of illicit drugs.
Up to 700kg of “methamphetamine” powder, valued at approximately $310m, 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.
Its commitment to confronting customs risks and curbing smuggling has earned international acclaim.
The efforts of the UAE port authorities safeguard communities and youth from the detrimental effects of illicit substances.
