Inspectors from the General Administration of Customs at Terminal 4 of Kuwait International Airport thwarted an attempt to smuggle 1,996 tablets of the drug “Rayol,” which is listed in the schedule of psychotropic substances due to its active ingredient, tapentadol. The tablets were found in the possession of a passenger arriving from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
The seizure was made possible thanks to the vigilance of customs inspectors and the precision of inspection procedures. The tablets were discovered in the passenger’s possession, and a seizure report was immediately drawn up, followed by the application of standard customs and legal procedures. The suspect and the seized items were referred to the General Administration for the Suppression of Drugs and Alcohol.
The General Administration of Customs reaffirmed its ongoing efforts to tighten surveillance at all entry points and to firmly combat attempts to smuggle narcotics and psychotropic substances into the country.
