SINGAPORE: A man has been sentenced to a fine of S$109,000, or more than 20 months’ jail in default, over incorrect customs declarations after tens of thousands of cartons of cigarettes and bottles of liquor were seized.
He had pleaded guilty to 26 charges, while another 44 charges were taken into consideration in the sentencing. Between 2016 and 2017, Lim gave wrong details in 13 permit applications to Singapore Customs, regarding the shipping company, goods description and quantity of goods. The permits were for the transshipment of liquor and tobacco products through Singapore.“Lim made the declarations to Singapore Customs despite knowing that the details were incorrect,” Singapore Customs said.
“They should submit complete and accurate information when making permit declarations and comply with all conditions imposed on the approved permits."
