Undeclared health products seized at Thailand border


PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Border Control and Protection Agency (MCBA) has seized unregistered beauty products during a routine inspection at the Immigration, Customs, Quarantine and Security (ICQS) complex in Bukit Kayu Hitam.

In a statement on Monday (July 28), the agency said the seizure took place at 3.30pm on Sunday.

“Checks revealed that four health-related products brought in by a woman had not been registered with the Drug Control Authority and were suspected of containing controlled substances under the Poisons Act 1952,” the agency said.

The seized items were estimated to be worth RM4,460.

“Further action includes the disposal of the products and investigations into the individual concerned in accordance with existing laws.

“MCBA will not tolerate any attempts to smuggle restricted items that could pose a threat to public health and national security,” it added.
