SUPERVISED by the Illegal Trade Eradication Steering Committee, legal action is being taken against illicit trading nationwide.

On 16 June, teams under the Yangon Region Illegal Trade Eradication Task Force seized an unregistered Honda Insight (worth approximately K4 million) near traffic lights on No 5 Road in the Industrial Zone of Hlinethaya (East) Township. This action was carried out under the Export and Import Law.

On the same day, teams coordinated by the Mon State Illegal Trade Eradication Task Force intercepted three Toyota Hilux Vigo vehicles (estimated value of K105 million) travelling from Phayathonsu to Kyaikmaraw. The cars were transporting goods valued at K23.77 million, including 915 kilograms of seaweed from China and 23 bags of frozen chicken sausage without official documents in Kyaikmaraw Township. This enforcement action was conducted under Customs procedures.

Consequently, seven individuals were arrested on 16 June, with goods valued at K132 million seized, according to the committee.
