Korea steps up cigarette smuggling crackdown
The Korea Customs Service is to reinforce the monitoring of tobacco smuggling on concerns about the burgeoning trade of duty-free cigarettes in the domestic market following an announced price hike.
In the run-up to a tobacco price hike on Jan. 1, the agency said it would closely monitor tourists purchasing more duty-free cigarettes than the government-imposed 10 pack limit.
