Weak inspection

KUWAIT: Eight days after a circular warned against parcels from six countries, a box containing seven kg of Captagon tablets arrived. This made customs officials admit that supervision is weak and this leads to smuggling drugs. Instructions were earlier issued for strictly inspecting parcels arriving from Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, China, Iran and Thailand. Concerned authorities said the weak level of inspection has allowed the entry of banned material into the country. Sources said the Captagon was in containers of sweets and was not inspected. — Al-Qabas
