Quick Summary:

THE Bureau of Customs (BOC) and the Department of Agriculture (DA) impounded smuggled frozen mackerel amounting to P178.5 million from China at the Manila International Container Port (MICP) on Wednesday.

In a statement, the bureau said it seized 21 40-footer containers of frozen mackerel that lacked the required import clearance.
