<h1>Revenue Intelligence seizes Rs 9 crore Pakistani goods in Operation Deep Manifest, arrests importer for bypassing import ban</h1> The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence conducted Operation Deep Manifest, seizing goods worth Rs 9 crore that violated import prohibitions on Pakistani-origin products. Authorities seized 39 containers containing 1,115 metric tonnes of goods at a major port, with one importing firm partner arrested. Following recent terror attacks, the government banned direct or indirect imports from Pakistan effective May 2025. Importers attempted to bypass restrictions by falsely declaring goods as originating from the UAE while actually transshipping Pakistani products through Dubai. Investigations revealed complex financial networks involving Pakistani and UAE nationals designed to obscure the true origin of imported goods.
