Customs Intelligence Director General Dr Moinul Khan said, “Acting on a tip-off, they discovered different brands of the e-cigarette liquid near the courier gate of the airport. According to the documents, Veip Company, located in Dhaka’s Shewrapara, imported the nicotine paying only 37.07% instead of 289.21% regular duty on the product.
The importer evaded customs duty of Tk 16 lakh by illegal ways, the Customs official said.

The goods were sent to Veip Company Limited in the city’s Shewrapara. The legal action would be taken in this regard, he said.
