Customs Preventive has seized 22 tons of acetic anhydride valuing Rs616 million, which was lying abandoned since November 2015, official sources said.
Customs Appraisement East had put up a lot number on the container and it was to be put on auction.
Drugs Enforcement Cell of MCC Preventive received the information that products which are otherwise banned to be imported are lying at NLC Container terminal.
MCC Preventive team examined the container and recovered 22 tons of acetic anhydride. The container was imported from Tanzania. No one appeared claiming ownership of the goods and no Goods Declaration (GD) was filed for the clearance of goods. Therefore, Customs Appraisement East initiated the auction proceedings.
An FIR to this effect has been lodged and investigations are underway. Initial investigations found that the said container was to be transshipped to Sialkot dry port.

UPDATE
Bandari yafuatilia tuhuma za kontena la sumu
Siku moja baada ya habari za kukamatwa kwa meli yenye shehena ya kemikali za sumu nchini Pakistan inayosadikiwa kutoka Tanzania, Mamlaka ya Usimamizi wa Bandari (TPA) imesema inafuatilia taarifa hiyo ili kujiridhisha.
Menejimenti ya TPA ilitoa taarifa jana kwa vyombo vya habari kuwa kwa sasa ni vigumu kukataa au kukubali iwapo mzigo huo ulipitia katika moja ya bandari zake kwa kuwa hakuna taarifa za kina zilizobainishwa juu ya kontena hilo. Taarifa hiyo ilisema kuwa ripoti zinazotolewa mpaka sasa hazijabainisha namba ya kontena, namba ya usafirishaji wala wakala wa meli hiyo, hivyo siyo rahisi kueleza kuwa kontena hilo lilisafirishwa kupitia Tanzania au la.
Juzi, vyombo vya habari vya kimataifa ikiwamo tovuti ya The International News iliripoti kuwa mamlaka nchini Pakistan imeikamata meli yenye kiwango kikubwa cha kemikali jijini Karachi inayotumika kutengeneza milipuko ikidaiwa kutokea Tanzania.
Mzigo huo uliokuwa ndani ya kontena la ukubwa wa futi 20 lenye uzito wa tani 21.7 ukiwa na thamani ya Rupia 860 milioni za Pakistan (Sh28 bilioni), unadaiwa kukamatwa Jumamosi iliyopita.
“Tutajitahidi kutoa taarifa baada ya kubaini chanzo cha mzigo huo na masuala mengine ya kina yanayohusiana nazo,” ilisema taarifa hiyo.
