DRI seizes ₹3 crore of Pakistan-origin dry dates allegedly routed via UAE
The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence seized 364 tonnes of dry dates in 13 containers at Kandla, alleging the Pakistan-origin cargo was routed through the UAE and misdeclared to bypass India’s import restrictions.
DRI seized 364 tonnes of Pakistan-origin dry dates valued at Rs 3 crore at Kandla after they were allegedly routed through the UAE and misdeclared. The action underscores enforcement of India’s ban on direct and indirect imports from Pakistan.
Why this matters
No related recent DRI signals were provided, so the Kandla dry-date seizure cannot be positioned against a documented recent enforcement pattern.
