HONG KONG: A Hong Kong court has jailed a woman for smuggling baby formula, the first time anybody has been sent to prison under the city's ban on unlicensed milk powder export, officials said Tuesday.
The 37-year-old woman, whose nationality has not been disclosed, was jailed for five weeks after being found with four boxes of baby milk formula weighing 3.2 kilogrammes (7.05 pounds) at the border crossing between Hong Kong and its neighbouring mainland Chinese city of Shenzhen Sunday.
