<h1>Customs seize 28 containers of Pakistani-origin cosmetics and dates worth Rs 12 crore; two arrested for smuggling</h1> Customs authorities seized 28 containers containing about 800 tonnes of cosmetics and dry dates, valued at approximately Rs 12 crore, at Nhava Sheva after investigations found the goods of Pakistani origin were misdeclared as UAE origin and routed via Dubai to evade a government ban on Pakistani-origin imports. The anti-smuggling unit arrested two suspects, including a supplier and a customs broker, alleging use of fabricated invoices, transshipment through third-country firms and money transfers to obscure origin and facilitate prohibited imports; enforcement followed a post-attack import prohibition.
