Truck Loaded with Smuggled Goods Intercepted in Jinja URA Operation

In response to ongoing smuggling activities in Jinja, the local enforcement team launched a wide-scale operation, seizing significant quantities of salt and rice—essential commodities for household and commercial use. This intensified effort followed intelligence reports as part of a broader crackdown on illicit trade aimed at ensuring that all market goods comply with tax regulations.

Acting on a tip-off, the team intercepted a truck, UAM803S, carrying 12 tons of salt and 1.2 tons of rice.

The enforcement team seized a substantial quantity of goods, including 12 tons of Kay Salt from Kenya, 19 sacks of Basmati rice (40kg each), 8 cartons of Fruit cordial juice from the UAE, 2 cartons of Baby cola shampoo from the UAE, 2 cartons of Body scrub from the UAE, 3 cartons of White oats from the UAE, 2 bags of Bahraf rice (25kg each), 5 bags of Sana Rice (25kg each), 23 bags of Hilal Basmati Rice (5kg each), and 8 bags of Hilal/Mahamood Basmati rice (10kg each).

This operation highlights the enforcement team’s dedication to tackling smuggling activities that threaten local economies and regulatory systems. Further investigations and prosecutions are underway as part of ongoing offense management efforts.
