Customs seized two containers of textiles, tiles and shoes worth around Rs.30 million imported under the pretext of importing PVC doors from China today, officials said.

The Director of Customs Ranjan Kanakasabay said two persons were arrested when they came to pay a duty of Rs.300,000 for importing PVC doors instead of the real import duty of Rs.10 million which is the price for the textiles seized. (Supun Dias) (Pix by Kushan Pathiraja)
