HIBAPRESS – Tangier
Customs services in the city of Tangier have intensified their monitoring of goods storage locations, following the detection of two undeclared warehouses. This is part of efforts aimed at combating smuggling and customs fraud, and addressing various violations related to the storage and distribution of goods.
These field operations aim to verify the legality of warehouses used for storing imported goods, and the extent to which the goods contained within them match customs documents and declarations, in addition to tracking shipment routes and identifying any potential violations of established procedures.
In this context, the National Customs Squad utilizes modern technological means, including drones, to assist in identifying suspicious storage locations and monitoring related movements, as well as verifying the nature of stored goods and the conditions under which these warehouses are operated.
These operations fall under the umbrella of tightening customs surveillance and strengthening mechanisms to combat smuggling and fraud, at a time when details regarding the nature of the goods in the two monitored warehouses, or the measures that may be taken against parties associated with them, have not yet been revealed.
