A consignment of 230 metric tonnes of unrefined coconut oil brought to the Colombo Port on April 30 will be re-exported to Malaysia tonight, Customs Deputy Director (Legal Affairs) and Media Spokesman Sudattha Silva said.
He said the unrefined coconut oil was detected in twelve 20ft containers. The vessel 'Ever Ethic' has reached the Colombo Port.
