62 WEDDING DRESSES WORTH BAM 280,000 SEIZED

BANJA LUKA, NOVEMBER 11 /SRNA/ - Officers of the BiH Indirect Taxation Authority /ITA/ have temporarily seized 62 wedding dresses with an estimated market value of BAM 280,000 in Trebinje.

"The goods of foreign origin were seized because they lacked proper documentation and proof that customs procedures had been completed and import duties paid," the UIO said on Wednesday.

The operation was carried out by officers of the Mostar Regional Center. It was based on intelligence pointing to irregularities in the origin of foreign-made goods that were being sold and rented out without import duties having been paid.

An inspection of a business in Trebinje found that the goods were being sold without proper documentation for the goods or proof that customs procedures had been completed.
