Flyer caught with 20 iPhone Pro Max, gold dust

The Mumbai Customs intercepted a passenger carrying twenty units of Apple iPhone Pro Max and gold dust worth Rs 83 lakh at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA).

The iPhone Pro Max is Apple's recent launched product and is also the company's expensive iPhone available in India. Sources said this trend has been developing over the past few years, each time a new gadget is launched.

The demand for flagship smart-phones of various companies has been very high in India in the grey market which fuels smuggling activities. The individual has been charged for violation of provisions of the Customs Act 1962.

The Mumbai Customs intercepted the passenger on Thursday after his arrival from Dubai. A thorough check led to the recovery of twenty premier phones and 1,599 grams of gold dust.
