Attempt to smuggle 550 boxes of monthly ration milk foiled

Kuwaiti authorities have successfully foiled an attempt to smuggle 550 boxes of monthly ration milk out of the country. The incident highlights the ongoing efforts to combat illicit trade and preserve the integrity of the local supply chain, reports Al-Rai Daily.

According to reports, the confiscated milk boxes were intended to be smuggled out of  Kuwait in violation of import regulations. The authorities, vigilant in their duties, intercepted the shipment at a port of entry, preventing the illegal entry of the goods.

Kuwaiti authorities remain committed to combating smuggling activities and maintaining the integrity of the local market. Such acts undermine the efforts of the government to provide essential supplies to its citizens and can have adverse effects on the economy and public welfare.

The thwarted attempt to smuggle 550 boxes of monthly ration milk sends a strong message that Kuwait will not tolerate any violation of its laws and regulations. The authorities will continue their vigilance to ensure that such smuggling attempts are detected and prevented, preserving the integrity of the local market and safeguarding the welfare of its citizens and residents.
