Jersey customs officers seize nearly £20,000 worth of duty
Customs officers in Jersey have seized 40,000 cigarettes, 14 kilos of tobacco and 33 litres of spirits from passengers arriving in the island with too much duty free. It’s the result of a three-month crackdown, during which time they say they found no evidence of any organised smuggling operations. Over that period 304 passengers were over the duty free allowance and nearly £20,000 worth of duty was confiscated.
